Potato Chip Omelette? Surprisingly not bad!

[susandennis]

My dinner tonight was brought to me by the internets. I happened on two different odd recipes and combined them.

I cut up the green onions that were about a day away from being done and some bacon I had cooked and frozen. I saute them together in some butter. Meanwhile, I cracked and scrambled 3 eggs and then tossed probably 1.5 to 2 cups of potato chips (sour cream and onion kettle chips) into the eggs and coated the chips. Then I poured the egg chip mixture over the onions/bacon and let it sit and cook til the bottom was brown.

Then I put a plate over the pan and flipped it onto the plate and then slid it back into the pan to brown the other side.

And ate it.

Next time. I will use regular chips and probably use fresher onions and add in some mushrooms maybe.

It was interesting, easy, and pretty darned tasty. And there are about a million ways you could go with it.

That sounds like a very unique dinner but it does sound yummy.

That sounds yummy. When I was in Mexico, the guy I was staying with introduced me to chilaquiles, which is a similar thing made with corn chips and salsa. Although now i am reading the wiki it seems perhaps more strictly it should be called migas. If you like those flavors, maybe you could try that too. I experimented with using Doritos a few times.

That does sound really good! I have yet to make an omelet but might have to try this.
