Spanish omelette
Eggs with potatoes
A Spanish omelette is a thick egg dish made with potatoes and often onions, cooked in olive oil and served in wedges.
Unlike French omelettes, which are folded around fillings, the Spanish version—called tortilla española in Spain—is flat and cake-like, browned on both sides.
It's served at room temperature as tapas or a light meal.
