How to Make Potato Saffron Omelet

  1. Peel and thinly slice 1 medium russet potato (about 1 cup sliced).
  2. In a medium bowl, gently toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  3. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk or cream, 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  5. Once the potatoes are cooked, push them to one side of the skillet. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges are set.
  7. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  8. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional) over one half of the omelet.
  9. Carefully fold the omelet in half using the spatula.
  10. Cook for another minute, until the omelet is cooked through and golden brown.
  11. Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.
