French Fries Omelet

French fries are just potatoes, right? Potatoes make a great filling for a hearty omelet, right? So why not put to great tastes together. 

On the rare occasion we have leftover fries, this is a great way to use them up. From experience, French fries don’t reheat very well back to their original crisp-exterior/soft-interior condition. 

However, they can be used to make a delicious breakfast the next day.

Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients

1 Handful of cooked French fries

2 eggs

2 tbsp grated cheddar cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Beat together eggs, salt and pepper. Cook in a buttered skillet and flip once. Pile French fries and cheddar cheese on one said and flip the other side over. Serve on a plate with some more shredded cheese and top with a couple of fries for looks.

Variations

Cut up the fries instead of using them whole. They act more like hash browns.

Try curly fries instead of plain French fries. They add a different flavor and spice up the omelet. Try different cheeses and add chopped peppers and traditional omelet fillings.

Would I Make It Again?

By all means, yes. Not only does this recipe use up some leftovers that are otherwise hard to use, but the precooked French fries work as a great substitute for potatoes or hash browns.
