   In a large bowl, beat the 3 eggs and add salt to taste.

5. 5

   Incorporate the cooked potatoes and chopped onion into the beaten eggs and mix well.

6. 6

   Heat a skillet with a little olive oil over low heat.

7. 7

   Pour half of the egg and potato mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly.

8. 8

   Place the 4 slices of cheese and 3 slices of ham over the mixture in the skillet.

9. 9

   Cover the filling with the rest of the egg and potato mixture.

10. 10

    Cover the skillet and cook over low heat until the bottom is set and golden brown.

11. 11

    Carefully flip the omelet and cook on the other side until it is completely done.

Notes

Cooking the potatoes in the microwave significantly reduces oil use and preparation time. Make sure to cook over low heat so the cheese melts well without burning the egg.
