Leftover Potato Omlette

I had a number of extra boiled potatoes in the fridge, and yesterday one became the basis of a hearty lunch.

I began by heating a small amount of olive oil in a pan, and adding large potato I'd grated on my ubiquitous 4-sided grater, using the largest holes.


I gently formed this into cake, using a spatula, and cooked it until it began to brown. Then I poured over it two beaten eggs to which I'd added salt, pepper, and minced fresh parsley. I flipped it once, and there you have it.

You could enhance this dish by adding cooked onions- cook them in the pan before adding the potatoes, and then toss the mixture together- or grated cheese. Or you could toss the potatoes with cooked onions and peppers and cheese and leave out the egg. Improvise!
