Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 medium potato
• 0.5 cup (shredded) Irish cheddar cheese
• 3 slices bacon
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) green onions

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potato into small cubes.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced potato in a drizzle of oil until golden brown and tender, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and place them on a paper towel to drain. Chop the bacon into small pieces.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.

Step 5

In the skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Swirl the butter to coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Use a spatula to gently pull the edges of the egg toward the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the edges.

Step 7

Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded Irish cheddar, cooked potatoes, crispy bacon, and chopped green onions onto one half of the omelet.

Step 8

Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through.

Step 9

Slide the omelet onto a plate, cut in half, and serve immediately.
