  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 piece garlic clove
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and fry the sliced potatoes and onions until tender but not browned.

    Drain the potatoes and onions in a colander, reserving two tablespoons of the oil, and let them cool slightly.

    Heat the reserved oil in the skillet, pour in the egg mixture, and cook on low-medium heat until the bottom is set and golden.

  5. 5

    Place a large plate over the skillet, carefully flip the omelette onto the plate, and slide it back into the pan to cook the other side.

  6. 6

    While the omelette finishes, boil the tomatillos and serrano pepper in water for 5 minutes until soft.

  7. 7

    Blend the boiled tomatillos, pepper, garlic, cilantro, and salt until smooth to create the salsa verde.

  8. 8

    Slice the omelette into wedges and serve warm with a generous side of the fresh salsa verde and optional cotija cheese.
