Instructions

1.	Peel and slice the potatoes and cook them in boiling salted water till soft.
2.	Beat the eggs in a bowl until well-combined. Add in chives, scallions, and salt. Stir in the potatoes and set aside.
3.	Heat the butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and spread it out evenly in the pan with a spatula. Let it cook on low until the bottom is golden brown, lifting the edges occasionally to let the uncooked mixture flow underneath.
4.	Once the bottom is golden brown and the top is mostly set, sprinkle shredded cheese on top, and place the skillet under the broiler for a minute until the cheese is melted and the top is fully set.
5.	Remove the skillet from the oven. Fold the omelette in half using a spatula, and slide onto a plate. Squeeze some lemon juice on top, and season with salt and pepper as needed.
