Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter (divided)
- 1 cup hash-brown potatoes (frozen, or diced cooked potatoes)
- 1 can (4 1/2 ounce) green chiles (mild, chopped)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- Ground pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped (or parsley)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and cook until golden brown, shaking the pan and tossing the potatoes from time to time, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in chiles and transfer to a plate.
-
Step 2: Combine eggs and hot sauce, salt and pepper with a fork in a medium bowl. Stir in cheese, scallions, cilantro (or parsley) and the potato mixture.
-
Step 3: Set a rack about 4 inches from the heat source; preheat the broiler.
-
Step 4: Brush the pan with the remaining butter; heat over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and tilt to distribute evenly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the bottom is light golden, lifting the edges to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Step 5: Place the pan under the broiler and cook until the top is set, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Slide the omelet onto a platter and cut into wedges.
