G’s a big fan of Rachel Ray and every morning, you’ll find him glued to the TV watching his favorite bubbly chef. He surprised me for brunch today with this potato chip omelette after watching one episode featuring Top Chef’s winner, Richard Blais, who came up with this uniquely delicious spin on Spanish frittata.

If you’re looking for a fun item to add to your breakfast or brunch menu, potato chip omelette definitely deserves a place on your list! Kettle-cooked potato chips are used in place of regular potatoes, giving your otherwise boring omelette delightful layers of crunch. To easily switch up the taste, try different potato chip flavors such as cheddar, barbecue or jalapeno. Enjoy!
