Mashed Potato Omelet

Ever wonder what to do with leftover mashed potatoes?  Try this recipe next time you have a cup left.  You can also add in some chopped ham and your favorite vegetables for a quick 'dinner' omelet.

MASHED POTATO OMELET 

    4 eggs
    1 cupful of mashed potatoes
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 tablespoonful of chopped parsley
    1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    1/4 cup onion, chopped
    salt and pepper, to taste

Beat the eggs until thoroughly mixed; add them gradually to the mashed potato, beating all the while; add half of the parsley, cheese, onion, salt and pepper. Put the olive oil saute or omelet pan; when hot, turn the ingredients into the pan, and smooth it down with a spatula. Let this cook slowly until nicely browned; fold it over as you would a plain omelet, and turn onto a heated dish. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve.
