Fijian Potato Omelette Recipe #329830
This is supposed to be a breakfast recipe but we always use it as a side at dinner time. It has heaps of flavour and is an excellent "store-cupboard" recipe. Unfortunately my husband is a pertinacious pea hater so I always sub with another veggie - whatever is on hand, usually green beans, snow peas (they're different apparently), carrots or capsicum or a combination - this recipe is as versatile as you make it!
