# Steps To Follow:
01 -
In a cast iron skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add diced potato and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes until tender and golden, stirring occasionally. Add sliced onion and continue to cook until caramelized, approximately 5 to 7 more minutes. Incorporate chopped turkey bacon and cook until crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and keep warm.
02 -
In a bowl, vigorously whisk eggs with milk or cream, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy. Heat butter or olive oil in the same skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook gently, using a spatula to draw set edges toward the centre, allowing uncooked egg to spread outward.
03 -
When eggs are almost set but still slightly soft on top, distribute the warm filling evenly over one half of the omelette. Carefully fold the other half over the filling and cook for an additional 30 to 60 seconds to ensure the inside is just set. Slide the omelette onto a plate or serve directly in the skillet for a rustic presentation.
04 -
Garnish with extra fresh parsley. Serve warm alongside slices of toasted country bread and a lightly dressed green salad. Optionally, drizzle the salad with fresh lemon juice and a touch of olive oil for added brightness.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
For extra golden potatoes, spread them in a single layer and avoid moving them too frequently while sautéing.
02 -
A heavy-bottomed or cast iron skillet helps achieve even caramelisation for vegetables and crisp bacon.
