Pancakes made from grated potatoes and filled with ham and cheese topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 1/4 cup green bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/4 cup small cubes Canadian bacon
- 2 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes (about 150g; do not defrost)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices American cheese
- 1/4 cup tomatoes, finely diced
- 1 tbsp thinly sliced green onions
- Half a ripe avocado, thinly sliced
Preparation:
- In a medium nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, Canadian bacon, a pinch of salt, and a couple of grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pepper is softened and the bacon begins to brown, 3–4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer everything to a small bowl, then return the skillet to the heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet, stirring to coat evenly. Add the grated potatoes in a single layer, pressing them down with the back of a heatproof spatula. Cook, undisturbed, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the bottom, about 8 minutes. Flip the potato pancake, drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil around the edges of the pan, and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown, another 4–5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and a couple of grinds of black pepper until smooth.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Lightly break up the potato pancake, then pour the eggs on top in an even layer. Cook until the eggs are set, about 1 minute. Spread cheese on one side of the omelet, then sprinkle with fried peppers and Canadian bacon, tomatoes, and green onions.
- Continue cooking until the cheese is melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Fold the omelet in half, covering the filling, like a book, then transfer to a plate. Top with sliced avocado and serve immediately.
