Wash the potatoes and boil them in a saucepan over low heat for 20 minutes, until they are very soft. Then peel and grate them.

Place the grated potato, Emmenthal cheese, butter, parsley, pepper, thyme and salt in a bowl and mix well until you have a smooth mixture.

Form the mixture into small balls, each about the size of a walnut, but make three of them larger (egg-sized, or other shapes). Then decorate each potato by embedding the foods you want to use for decoration.

Prepare the green omelette by peeling and finely chopping the potatoes and onion. Chop the pepper and parsley as well. Put everything in a bowl and add the eggs, flour, thyme, pepper and salt, and beat well.

Heat a frying pan with olive oil and fry the omelette on both sides, 5 minutes on each side.

Place the omelette on a serving plate. Wash and slice a carrot, and place the slices on toothpicks to decorate the omelette.

Decorate with ‘sweets’ made from the potato balls and all kinds of decorations made from food.

You can cut the omelette and decorate it in different ways, giving it animal shapes. You can ask the children to help you…
