Once the bottom is cooked, I pop the skillet under the broiler for a minute instead of flipping the whole thing over. Watch very closely so as not to overcook. Whisk your eggs into a froth and they will puff up a little bit. I've also used frozen hash browns instead peeling and slicing fresh potatoes. I like the fresh potatoes better but the hash browns work well in a time crunch.

Quick and easy breakfast. I might add some crumbled bacon next time. Did not flip the whole thing onto a plate and then cook the top, I just cooked it like a regular omelet (pulling back the edges and letting the uncooked egg fill in the open space, etc.)

A nice omelet, DD (toddler) and I enjoyed for lunch with some rice crackers. I adjusted the burner temperature as on my burner it was too hot to cook at the temperature written. I used unrefined extra virgin olive oil, yellow fleshed potato, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, large sweet onion, fresh plumb tomatoes, and the rest. I might make this again for DH. Made for March's Tag Game ~ Spring Onions (Cebolletas) in Spain & Portugal forum.
