5 Minute Portuguese Potato Chip Omelet Recipes

FERRAN ADRIà'S POTATO CHIP OMELET

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk vigorously until frothy and lightened in color, about 4 minutes. (If you have a balloon whisk, now is the time to use it: It will aerate better than a standard whisk, and should take half the time and effort. Either way, your arm will burn by the end of this, but a fluffy, puffy omelet will be your reward.)
• Add 1 tablespoon oil to a 10-inch nonstick skillet and heat over medium.
• Add the chips to the eggs. Using a plastic spatula, gently fold a few times to ensure chips are coated. Let the chips soak for 1 minute.
• Pour the mixture into the skillet, using the spatula to spread the potatoes into an even layer, then to loosen the omelet from the sides of the pan.
• After the bottom of the omelet is just about set - it should barely take on color but the top isn't completely set - 3 to 4 minutes, cover the omelet with an upside-down plate or a large, flat lid. Holding one hand flat against the plate and holding the skillet by its handle, gently flip over the omelet to release it onto the plate.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet, then carefully slide the omelet from the plate, uncooked-side-down, into the pan and cook for about 2 minutes. Slide the omelet onto a plate, slice and serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy and add the chips or potatoes. Let them sit for about 5-10 minutes to soften. Meanwhile, on high heat brown the onions and presunto in 3 tablespoons of olive oil until crispy.
• 2. Mix in the egg and potato mixture and 1 tsp parsley. Cook on medium for 3 -5 minutes (shake pan so it doesn't stick) Flip the omelet onto a large serving dish and then place the omelet back in the skillet uncooked side down for another 2 minutes.
• 3. At this point you can add cheese (if using), or just top with the remaining tsp fresh parsley. Enjoy!

POTATO CHIP OMELET

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, white pepper, parsley, and chives together until combined. Fold in the potato chips until they are completely covered in the egg mixture, but try not to crush the chips too much. Let stand for 10 minutes, until the chips soften slightly.
• 2. Heat the butter in an ovenproof 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, swirling the pan to coat the bottom completely, until very hot. Carefully pour in the egg mixture and spread it evenly in the pan, then immediately reduce the heat to low. Cook until the eggs are set and the bottom is light golden, about 15 minutes. If the bottom is golden but the eggs are still runny on the top, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the eggs are completely set, 3 to 4 minutes.
• 3. To serve, invert a large flat plate over the pan and flip the pan and the plate to invert the omelet onto the plate. Let stand for at least 5 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving.

15 MINUTE SPANISH POTATO OMELETTE

Steps:

• Crack 6 large organic eggs into a large bowl, season them with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, beat together until well combined, grab a 6 oz / 150 g bag of regular potato chips and crush them, then add the chips into the bowl with the eggs and mix together, let it sit for 4-5 minutes to let the potato chips soften up
• Meanwhile crack 2 large organic eggs in a seperate bowl, season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper and beat together, after leaving the egg and potato chip mixture for 4-5 minutes, add the 2 beaten eggs and mix together
• Heat a nonstick frying pan with a low heat (you might need to use a low-medium heat, depending on the size of your burner) and add 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, after 2 minutes add the potato and egg mixture into the pan, using a spoon make sure everything is evenly distributed, shake the pan once in a while to make sure your omelette is not sticking to the pan
• After cooking for 4-5 minutes it´s time to flip the omelette to cook the other side, grab another nonstick frying pan that is bigger than the one cooking the omelette, place it on top and flip the pans, this is an easy way to flip the omelette without any of the egg mixture going all over the place, compact the omelette with a spatula through the outer edges, this will give it that classic rounded edge, cook for another 4-5 minutes, after cooking for a total of about 9-10 minutes remove from the pan and garnish with fresh parsley, enjoy!
