I like to make these Spanish omelets with gold potatoes, they are my favorite. But you can use Russet if you prefer, they work great in this recipe too!
Same with the onions, you can swap the yellow onions out for white, sweet, and even red onions (though red onions will change the color a bit).

How to Make Low Calorie Spanish Omelets
Make sure to use a non-stick skillet to make this recipe. It’s the key to getting the omelet out of the pan and flipping it.
And if you don’t have a plate big enough for “the flip” use a large wooden cutting board instead.
How to Make a Low Calorie Spanish Omelet:
- Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, and spray with olive oil.
- Add the potatoes and onions, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 30 minutes, mixing 3-4 times to avoid sticking/burning. Then remove to a large bowl.
- In a large bowl or large glass measuring cup whisk the eggs, salt and pepper.
- Spray the pan again with olive oil and raise the heat to medium heat.
- Add the eggs to the bowl of potatoes and onions, mix and then pour the contents of the bowl into the hot pan.
- Cook for 3-5minutes, or until the bottom of the omelette is golden brown, set in the center, and pulling away from the sides.
- Place a large plate over the pan (ensure it fully covered the pan) then flip the pan and the plate together so that the omelet comes out onto the plate in one piece. (note: the omelet will still be runny, we are not done cooking it.
- Spray the pan once more with olive oil, and slide the Spanish omelet (uncooked side down) back into the pan.
- Cook for 2-3 mins until the bottom is golden.
- Slice into 8 slices and serve hot.
Healthy Spanish Omelet Recipe
These low calorie Spanish omelets are so yummy, and a great way to take the next step in your cooking “game”. Just remember, if the omelet falls apart when you flip it, add it back to the pan (uncooked side down ideally) and push it all back into the correct form. It will still taste good no matter how messy it comes out.
But the key to the flip is really letting the bottom brown a lot, it will hold it all together.
