Steps:

• Mash the potato and add the egg yolks together with the milk, chopped up chives, butter, lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they hold a stiff peaks.
• Gently fold the whisked egg whites into the potato mixture, making sure that you don't lose any air.
• Heat the pan on low heat, add extra butter or oil and pour the omelette mixture in.
• Cook for about 5 minutes and check when the bottom gets a nice brown colour.
• At that point either place it under low heat grill (if you have a suitable skillet or a baking tray) or very gently turn the omelette in the pan. If you use a long and wide utensil, you should be fine turning the omelette without knocking too much air out of it.
• Cook for another 5 minutes or until is very light brown on the top.
• Traditionally you'd slice the omelette into 4 pieces and serve it with buttered toast or even a salad if it's for a lunch.
