Directions
- Rinse shredded potato with water, then pat dry in paper towel.
- In 8-inch (20 cm) nonstick skillet set over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter. Cook mushrooms, red pepper and green onion and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt for 4 to 6 minutes or until starting to brown. Add spinach and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until spinach is wilted. Transfer mixture to plate. Wipe skillet clean with paper towel.
- In medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and remaining salt.
- Add 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter to the skillet and set over medium heat. Cook half the shredded potatoes for 3 to 5 minutes or until starting to crisp up. Spread into an even layer.
- Pour in half the eggs mixture, tilting pan so mixture evenly covers bottom. Sprinkle with half the vegetable mixture.
- Sprinkle with 1/4 cup (60 mL) cheese. Cover and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and eggs are set.
- Slip spatula under half the omelet and flip onto other half to make a half-moon shape. Sprinkle top of omelette with 1/4 cup (60 mL) cheese. Cover and cook for 30 to 60 seconds or until cheese begins to melt. Slide onto plate and garnish with half the chives.
- Repeat process with remaining butter, remaining shredded potatoes, remaining eggs mixture, remaining vegetable mixture, remaining cheese and remaining chives.
- Serve each with salsa.
