Ingredients

2 medium potatoes, washed and thinly sliced
4 eggs, beaten
Slices of mozzarella (or any cheese of your choice)
Fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chili flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or olive oil)

Instructions

Step 1: Fry the Potatoes

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on one side, then flip to brown the other side evenly.

Step 2: Add Eggs and Cheese

Once the potatoes are crispy, pour the beaten eggs evenly over them. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top. Arrange mozzarella slices over the eggs, then add a pinch of chili flakes if you like some heat. Cover the pan with a lid.

Step 3: Finish Cooking

Let cook on medium heat until the eggs set and the cheese melts. Then, carefully flip the omelette so the other side cooks for another minute or two. Transfer to a plate and serve hot.

Serving Suggestions & Tips

Serve with crusty bread, a fresh salad, or sliced avocado for a balanced meal
Use a non-stick skillet to make flipping easier and avoid sticking
To add more flavor or bulk: stir in sautéed onions, bell peppers, or spinach before adding the eggs
Try swapping mozzarella for cheddar, feta, or any cheese you like for a different flavor profile
If you want a spicier dish — add a dash of smoked paprika, cayenne, or extra chili flakes before plating
