How to Make Russian Omelet

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and water until light and frothy.
  2. Season the egg mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Set aside.
  4. Lightly spray an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan or skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat.
  5. Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Set the cooked potatoes aside.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet.
  8. As the eggs begin to set around the edges, use a spatula to gently push the cooked portions towards the center, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  9. Continue cooking until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist on top.
  10. Spoon half of the cooked potatoes onto one half of the omelet.
  11. Top the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of sour cream and sprinkle with half of the green onions.
  12. Using your spatula, gently fold the omelet in half.
  13. Cook for another 30 seconds to melt the sour cream slightly and heat through.
  14. Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate.
  15. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and remaining green onions, if desired.
