Its 10.8 µg of Biotin covers 36% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 65 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
A potato omelette is made by cooking chunks or slices of potato with beaten eggs in a pan. It is a familiar home-cooked dish in many places; this version is a straightforward omelette rather than necessarily the Spanish tortilla, which is usually set into a thick, sliceable cake.
Serve it hot for breakfast or brunch, with toast and a simple salad, or cut it into wedges for a shared meal. The potato turns soft inside while the egg sets around it, with browned edges if cooked until golden. It offers both protein and carbohydrates, making it filling; a 100 g portion has 5.5 g of protein. For a lighter plate, use a little oil and add fresh vegetables alongside.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Cook diced potatoes in a lightly oiled pan until tender and golden, then pour beaten eggs over them. Cook over low heat until the base sets, turn carefully, and finish cooking the other side.
Yes, cook the potatoes before adding the eggs so they become tender without overcooking the omelette. You can pan-fry diced raw potatoes, or use already boiled potatoes and briefly brown them in the pan.
A Potato Omelette is a broad name for eggs cooked with potatoes, and recipes vary. Spanish tortilla, or tortilla de patatas, is a specific Spanish dish traditionally made with eggs and thinly sliced potatoes, often with onion, then set into a thick round.
Let the eggs set around the edges and across the base before turning the Potato Omelette. A non-stick pan and a wide plate or spatula make flipping easier; cooking the potatoes first also helps the egg mixture hold together.
Waxy or all-purpose potatoes generally hold their shape well in a Potato Omelette. Cut them into evenly sized pieces so they cook at the same rate, and cook them until tender before adding the eggs.
Yes, you can bake a Potato Omelette in an oven-safe dish. Cook the potatoes first, mix them with beaten eggs, and bake until the centre is set; the exact time depends on the dish size and oven.
Serve a Potato Omelette with a green salad, sliced tomatoes, or sautéed vegetables for lunch or dinner. For breakfast, toast or fresh fruit are common accompaniments, while a simple salad balances the rich egg-and-potato combination.
A Potato Omelette keeps for about 3–4 days in the refrigerator when cooled promptly and stored in a covered container. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, and make sure it is hot throughout before serving.
Yes, a Potato Omelette can be frozen, although the eggs and potatoes may become softer after thawing. Cool it completely, portion it into airtight packaging, thaw it in the refrigerator, and reheat thoroughly before eating.
A Potato Omelette can work before exercise because it combines carbohydrate from potatoes with protein from eggs. If a full portion feels heavy, eat a smaller amount and allow time to digest before training.
