Hearty Cheese Omelet - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 slices bacon
    2 Tbsp. diced green pepper
    1/2 c. peeled, diced potato
    6 eggs
    1/4 tsp. salt
    1/2 c. finely shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
    tomato wedges (optional)
    fresh parsley sprigs (optional)
    2 Tbsp. chopped onion
    2 Tbsp. diced sweet red pepper
    2 Tbsp. water
    dash of ground white pepper
Preparation
    Cook bacon in a 10-inch skillet until crisp.
    Remove bacon, reserving 2 tablespoons of drippings in skillet.
    Crumble bacon, set aside. Saute onion and diced peppers in drippings until tender; add potato and cook until browned.
    Remove vegetables with a slotted spoon, set aside and keep warm.
    Combine eggs, water, salt and pepper in a bowl; whisk just until blended.
    Pour egg mixture into hot skillet over medium heat.
    As mixture starts to cook, gently life edges of omelet with a spatula and tilt pan so that uncooked portion flows underneath.
    Sprinkle half of omelet with reserved vegetable mixture, all but 1 tablespoon crumbled bacon and 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese.
    Fold in half, transfer to plate.
    Sprinkle with remaining bacon and cheese.
