Method
- Thinly slice the potatoes with a mandoline or a very sharp knife. Fry them in the oil until golden and crispy all over. Set aside.
- Caramelise the onion in the butter until very dark brown. Add a little water to deglaze any burnt parts when overly brown.
- Mix the eggs with the caramelised onion and the crisped potatoes, season to taste with salt and leave it to rest in the fridge for an hour.
- Meanwhile, heat a non-stick frying pan to a medium/hot heat, add a splash of the olive oil and pour in the egg and potato mixture. After two minutes turn over the omelette using a plate larger than the pan. Repeat this process after two minutes and again until the omelettes are nicely browned. The centre of the omelette should retain runny consistency.
