Ingredients
- 8 strips bacon, cut into paper clip-size pieces
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- Dash of balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon oil or duck or pork fat, plus more if needed
- 3 medium waxy potatoes, peeled and diced
- 5 eggs
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Fry the bacon in a small frying pan until crisp, and remove to a paper towel to drain. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the pan. Add the butter to the pan, heat to medium and gently fry the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove all to a plate. Deglaze the pan with a splash of vinegar and reduce until it’s almost gone.
- Add the tablespoon of oil or fat and get the pan quite hot this time. Saute the potatoes, stirring only occasionally, until they are soft when pierced with a fork and very crisp and golden on the outside, a good 20 minutes. Return the onions, garlic and bacon to the pan.
- Gently stir the eggs with a fork, sprinkle with salt and pepper and pour them over the potatoes. Cook until the eggs are set on the bottom, but still a bit slithery on top – or, as the French say, “baveux” (drool-like). Cover the omelette and continue cooking until the top sets, no more than a minute because you still want it a little runny on top – or, I do anyway. Run a spatula around the edge and slip the omelette out onto a large plate.
