Ferran Adrià, Michelin chef: "To prepare a quick and easy potato omelette you only need 8 eggs, oil and a bag of chips"

Posted on 22 September 2026

The potato omelette is one of the most recognized recipes in our country and it is not surprising because it is a very cheap meal, but with a dreamy flavor if you know how to prepare it well. Of course, there are infinite versions of this dish, with or without onion, more curd or in the Betanzos style, as well as with toppings ranging from goat cheese to caramelized red peppers. We have decided to rely on a recommendation from Ferran Adrià so that we can get a potato omelette in the style of a Michelin chef.

The potato omelette that Adrià proposes in a video he published on YouTube turns out to be very unconventional, since he makes it using only 8 eggs, oil and a bag of chips. Yes, you read correctly, no more peeling potatoes, we skip this step and get a recipe three times faster. It is undoubtedly a risky idea, but it turns out that on social networks more and more content creators are encouraged to try this recipe.

Ingredients for the potato omelette

  • 8 eggs
  • olive oil
  • 1 bag of chips

The chef's recipe step by step

To begin, we beat the eggs in a container until they are well integrated. At the same time, we put a frying pan on the heat with enough olive oil to cook the omelette. When the eggs are beaten, add the bagged potato chips and stir everything well so that they are coated with the egg.

Next, we pour the mixture into the hot pan and let the omelet cook over medium heat. When it has set on the bottom, place a plate on the pan and carefully turn it over to cook it on the other side as well. Once it has the set point that we like, all that remains is to remove it from the heat and serve it to enjoy it.
