Irish Omelette
6 Small or 4 Large Eggs
135g (5oz) Mashed Potato
1 tbsp Chopped Chives or Spring Onion
25g (1oz) Butter
Lemon Juice
Salt and peppers
Separate the eggs.
Beat the yolks, adding salt and pepper to taste.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff.
Combine the beaten yolks, mashed potato, a squeeze of lemon juice and chives (or spring onions), ensuring they are thoroughly mixed.
Gently fold in the whisked egg whites, retaining as much air in the mixture as possible.
Melt the butter in a frying or omelette pan over a medium heat.
Pre-heat the grill.
Cook until just set, and then place under the grill until the top is lightly browned.
Serve immediately.
