Spanish Omelet
In Spain, a tortilla is an omelet. The Spanish omelet, is round (not folded), thick, and is commonly made with eggs, potatoes, onions and sometimes other ingredients (like bell peppers) and is always cooked in olive oil. Commonly known as Tortilla Española or Tortilla de Patatas (Potato Omelet), the Spanish omelet can be served hot or cold as a meal on its own, and is commonly paired with a side salad. It is also a popular tapa dish from Spain when it is cut into small pieces. Any way you slice it, the Tortilla Española is authentic Spanish cooking at its best!
