Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 4 eggs, organic
  • 3 pinches of salt
  • 1 ½ tsp, heaped parsley, freeze-dried
  • 2 pinches Kampot pepper, ground
  • 1 pinch(s) nutmeg, freshly grated
  • 2 ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 350 g waxy potatoes, organic
  • 2 tsp, heaped onion(s), diced, freeze-dried
  • 1 tsp, heaped miso paste
  • 1 tsp, heaped curry paste, red
  • ½ tsp paprika powder
  • ½ tsp turmeric

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 55 minutes

with miso paste and curry paste, Asian-inspired

First, boil the potatoes (I boil them roughly quartered, so they need about 15 minutes). Peel them if desired and, once cooled, cut them into fried potato slices (I prefer to use boiled potatoes from the day before with the skin on). The required number of slices will later cover the bottom of the pan in a single layer as tightly as possible. Set the slices aside. Crack the eggs and whisk them with 2 pinches of salt, Kampot pepper, freeze-dried parsley, and nutmeg, then set them aside. In a pan (total diameter approx. 28 cm), heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the miso paste, curry paste, paprika powder, and turmeric side by side (!) over medium heat until the pastes crackle slightly and the oil is hot. Be careful not to burn the spices. Then add the freeze-dried diced onions to the oil and quickly mix everything together. The onions will brown quickly! Add the fried potato slices to the pan, add a little more olive oil, and fry thoroughly. Stir frequently to ensure the onion paste is distributed around the potatoes and nothing burns. Season the potatoes with a pinch of salt and fry until they have a light, dark crust. Then arrange the slices evenly in a single layer next to each other. Stir the egg mixture again, then quickly pour it over the fried potatoes in the pan. Reduce the heat to allow the omelet to cook through without the underside burning. When the top of the omelet is just set, flip it using a plate or a pancake spatula and finish cooking. For me, this omelet provides two servings; for a very hungry person, it would probably only be one.
