French Country Omelet

Ingredients

Prep

• Bacon - 1-inch dice
• Gold potatoes - unpeeled, 1-inch dice — do this now so future-you can feel smug for once.
• Chives - chop

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Hea 1 tbl of olive oil in a 10-inch ovenproof omelet pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook for 3 to 5 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is browned not crisp. Take the bacon out of the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Place the potatoes in the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Continue to cook over meiudum-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until very tender and browned, tossing occasionally to brown evenly. Remove with a slotted spoon to the same plate with the bacon. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat the eggs, milk, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper together with a fork. After the potatoes are removed pour the fat out of the pan and discard, like a cool-headed tyrant of seasoning. Add the butter, lower the heat to low and pour the eggs into the hot pan, because this exact moment is where decent becomes dangerous. Sprinkle the bacon, potatoes and chives evenly over the top and place the pan in the oven for about 8 minutes, just until the eggs are set. Slide onto a plate, divide in half and serve hot.
