Breakfast Potato Omelet
"On my constant search for recipes for one or two I came across a recipe in a cooking for two book that consisted of eggs and potatoes cooked in a sort of Spanish tortilla format. When I tried it it was good but not enough. I decided to tweak it and make it more to my liking. I added cheese, and parsley. And serve it with a side of salsa for an extra kick. Sometimes I also serve with a side of refried beans and tortilla.
This dish is very versatile and and really can be made in a variety of ways with bacon and onions added to the egg mixture or maybe topped with country sausage and gravy.
This recipe would also be good as a quick and easy lunch or dinner recipe served with a salad and bread."
