Irish Omelet


A great way to use up leftover boiled, baked or mashed potatoes. I love omelets and separately whipping the egg whites makes this light and fluffy despite the inclusion of potatoes. in case you're wondering about taste - imagine a cross between a knish and a souffle. other herbs or grated onions might be good variations.

Steps


Separate the eggs and beat the yolks.
Add , the mashed potato to the yolks , mixing thoroughly.
Add the lemon juice , chives , and salt and pepper.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff.
Fold the egg whites into the potato mixture.
Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet or omelette pan over low-medium heat.
Cook the omelet until golden , then run under the broiler to finish and puff the omelet.
Serve immediately.
