Omelet Recipe
1 recipe Hash Browns
1 medium tomato, diced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1 ounce grated cheddar cheese
Toss fully dried grated potatoes with salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
Meanwhile, heat half the butter in a 10" skillet/fry pan over medium-high heat until it just starts to brown, then scatter potatoes evenly over entire pan bottom.
Using a wide spatula, firmly press potatoes to flatten.
Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until dark golden brown and crisp, 7 to 8 minutes.
Invert hash browns, browned side up, onto a large plate; add remaining butter to pan. Once butter has melted, slide hash browns back into pan. Continue to cook over medium heat until remaining side is dark golden brown and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes longer. Fold the potato round in half; cook about 1 minute longer. Slide hash browns onto plate or cutting board, cut into wedges and serve immediately.
