How to Make Light Hash Brown Omelette

  1. Dice 1/2 medium onion and set aside.
  2. In a medium-sized frying pan, lightly coat with vegetable spray. Add 2 cups of shredded potatoes and the diced onion, spreading them out in a single layer.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are lightly browned and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  4. Add 1/2 cup of diced ham to the potatoes and onions. Stir to combine and cook for another 2 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  6. Pour 4 large eggs (or 1 cup egg substitute) evenly over the potato mixture. Cook until the edges begin to set, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Gently lift the edges of the omelette with a spatula and tilt the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  8. Once the eggs are mostly set, sprinkle the shredded cheese across one half of the omelette.
  9. Carefully fold the omelette in half over the cheese.
  10. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the omelette is heated through.
  11. Remove from heat and let rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing.
