This old-fashioned omelet uses codfish and mashed potatoes for a hearty dish suitable for breakfast or dinner.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups hot mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup shredded codfish, scalded and drained
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil

Preparation:

Combine the codfish and mashed potatoes with the egg yolks beaten light. Fold in the egg whites and spread in a medium-sized frying pan in which the vegetable oil has been heated. Make the mixture quite thin, cook until well browned, fold over, slide onto a platter and garnish with parsley.

This is particularly good served with fried tomatoes or Spanish sauce.

Yield: 2 servings
