Potato onion omelette is a homestyle dish made by cooking diced potatoes and softened onion in beaten eggs. Versions appear in many kitchens, so it is best understood as a simple, filling omelette rather than a dish tied to one particular place.
Serve it warm for breakfast or brunch, with toast, salad or sliced tomatoes; it also makes an easy light supper. The potatoes give the soft, set eggs a hearty, mildly starchy bite, while the onion adds sweetness. Eggs make it a useful source of protein, with carbohydrates coming mainly from the potatoes. For a lighter plate, cook the vegetables with a modest amount of oil and pair a wedge with a crisp salad.

Cook diced potatoes in a pan until tender, soften the onion, then pour beaten eggs over the mixture to make a potato onion omelette. Cook gently until the bottom is set, then flip carefully or finish the top under a grill.
Yes, cook the potatoes before adding the eggs. Raw chunks may stay firm by the time the omelette is done, so sauté them until tender or use cooked potatoes left over from another meal.
A potato onion omelette is generally cooked and served as an omelette, while Spanish tortilla is a thick, round potato-and-egg dish cut into wedges. Onion is common in many versions of both, though its place in Spanish tortilla is famously debated.
Let the underside of the potato onion omelette set fully before turning it, and loosen the edges with a spatula. For an easier flip, slide it onto a plate, cover with the pan, invert, then slide it back in to cook the other side.
Yes, you can bake a potato onion omelette. Soften the potatoes and onions on the stovetop first, combine them with beaten eggs in an oven-safe pan or dish, and bake until the center is set. This avoids flipping the omelette.
Yes, leftover boiled potatoes work well in a potato onion omelette. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and brown them briefly with the onion before adding the eggs; this adds flavor and prevents the potatoes from breaking apart while they cook.
Waxy or all-purpose potatoes hold their shape well in a potato onion omelette. Cut them into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly, and avoid leaving large chunks that can make the egg mixture difficult to slice and serve.
A potato onion omelette keeps for about two days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate leftovers after serving rather than leaving them out, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
Serve a potato onion omelette with a crisp green salad, sliced tomatoes, or other fresh vegetables to balance its soft, savory filling. It also works with toast for breakfast or a simple yogurt side for a more substantial meal.
Yes, reheat a potato onion omelette gently in a covered pan over low heat to keep it from drying out. A microwave works too; heat in short bursts and check that the middle is hot before serving.
