This makes a full meal for one or a light meal for 2.
1 baking potato (about 200 g), thinly sliced (only peel it if the peel looks ugly)
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 to 1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 tbs cooking oil
Salt and pepper to taste
A dash of Aromat (or Accent)
Other herbs/spices you like with eggs or potatoes
Lightly beat the eggs with the seasonings and chopped onion.
Heat the oil in an omelet pan and fry the potato slices over medium heat until cooked through but not browned. When the edges begin to brown, pour the egg mixture over the potatoes. Let cook for about 30 seconds, and then, using a spatula, lift the potato slices and cooked edges of the omelet from the pan to let the raw egg mix flow under the potato slices. When the surface of the omelet is no longer runny, slide the omelet onto a plate. If you like omelets to be lightly cooked, eat as it is.
Otherwise, turn the pan upside down, lay on top of the plate and turn over quickly and return to the heat to cook the other side of the omelet (it can also be finished in the oven if the pan has a metal handle).
I sometimes make this with cubed, cooked potatoes that go directly into the egg mixture prior to frying.

Sample recipe from Small dishes…: Leek quiche
I sometimes order quiche when I want a light meal in a café, but the closest I have come to making one is a baked omelet, which is similar but crustless.
Servings: 6.
Time: 90 minutes.
Crust:
175 g margarine
350 ml flour
2 tbs cold water
Mix margarine, flour and water into a smooth dough. Refrigerate for 1 hour at least.
Filling:
About 800 g (5-6) leeks
100 g grated cheese
100 g smoked bacon
1 egg
100 ml cream
Salt and pepper
Wash and trim the leeks and cut into approximately 3 cm long pieces. Cook in lightly salted water for 5-6 minutes. Drain well.
Roll out the dough and line an ungreased pie dish with it. Sprinkle with about half the grated cheese and top with the leeks. Chop the bacon and sprinkle it on top of the leeks.
Whisk together egg and cream and add salt and pepper to taste. Pour over the pie filling and bake at 200°C for about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Serve hot.
Does anyone else think that one egg seems like one or two eggs too little?
