What is a Omelette Stuffed Baked Potato?
The Potato Omelette is a creative take on two classic favorites, the baked potato and the traditional omelette. In Spain, “Tortilla de Patatas” is a beloved staple, usually served as a thick omelette with potatoes and onions. This recipe takes inspiration from that concept but turns it into a baked stuffed version that’s perfect for sharing or serving as an impressive brunch dish.
Pro Tips for the Best Potato Omelette
- Make sure all potatoes are roughly the same size to ensure they cook evenly.
- Lightly sauté the onion and ham before mixing with eggs for extra depth of flavor.
- Don’t skip on mozzarella, it creates a deliciously melty topping that binds the filling together.
- Sprinkle fresh parsley just before serving to add color and a burst of freshness.

Can I Make This Recipe Vegetarian?
