Comments: Goes well with a side service of Irish bacon.

4	lg	Eggs, separated
1	lg	Cooked potato, mashed
	A few drops of	Freshly squeezed lemon juice
1	tbsp	Green onions or scallions, chopped with the green stems
		Salt and black pepper
1	tbsp	Butter

• Separate the eggs and beat the yolks. Blend the yolks with the mashed potato. Add a few drops of lemon juice to the potato mix, then blend in the chopped green scallions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Melt the butter over moderate heat in the omelet or oven-proof non-stick fry pan until bubbling. Start the broiler now, so it will be hot when you are ready to finish the omelet.
• Whisk the egg whites until stiff and then stir them into the potato mixture. Cook the mixture until golden.
• To finish the top of the omelet, stick the skillet under the broiler for a few minutes. The Irish omelet will puff up nicely when done.
• Serve at once.
