Spanish omelets are traditionally made with potatoes and onion, and this one has smoked salmon for a refreshingly different flavor.

• 1 pound potatoes, peeled and cubed

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet and add the potato. Fry gently, stirring, for 10 minutes, or until browned on all sides and cooked through.

Add the onion to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until translucent and soft. Heat broiler to medium.

Whisk the eggs in a bowl together with the dill and some salt and pepper.

Tear the smoked salmon into pieces and add to the skillet. Add the mascarpone in dollops. Using a spatula, pull the mixture into the center of the skillet and level it off.

Pour the eggs over the top and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the omelet is just set.

Put the skillet under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to lightly brown the top. Slide the omelet out of the skillet and cut into eight wedges. Arrange a handful of salad leaves on each plate and top with two wedges of the omelet.
