This is what you do:
First, preheat the oven to 375°F (190 C).
Next, cook the potatoes in boiling water until tender.
Spray a nonstick pan with cannola oil or vegetable oil spray and warm at medium heat.
Saute the onion till brown and soft. Add the vegetables and sauté until tender but not brown.
Then, in a medium mixing bowl, slightly beat the eggs and egg whites, pepper, garlic salt, and mozzarella cheese.
Stir the egg-cheese mixture into the cooked vegetables.
Oil or spray a 10-inch pie pan or ovenproof skillet. Transfer potatoes and eggs mixture to pan. Spread with parmesan cheese and bake omelet until firm and brown on top, about 20-30 minutes.
Tip: For an overall addition of 2 points (a mere 1/2 point per portion), add 5 whole eggs instead of 3 whole eggs and 2 whites. That'll be 5 points per portion.
