Very tasty thanks for the recipe. I modified a few things cuz I can’t help myself lol. Half rutabaga to lower the carb, added some minced green pepper and paprika to the egg and cracked black pepper. I do find it somewhat a bland recipe so I think I would spice up further maybe some garlic or anchovies. Eaten with a side of salsa it was tasty. I fried it in half avocado oil and half olive. I think I will try sautéed next to reduce the oil. A fun recipe to play with and personalize.

Made this for breakfast this morning and it was a hit, but i had to tweak the recipe for what I had on hand. So I fried my potatoes in oil like I would for making potatoes and eggs. While they got a light golden brown, I started to mix my eggs. Then into the mixed eggs, I added Picante Chunky Salsa (mainly because I didn’t have an onion), a few shakes of Tabasco, and cheese. I seasoned my potatoes with onion and garlic powder while they drained off the oil. I then mixed it and cooked as directed. It was very delicious and will make its rotation into the breakfast ideas. Thanks for this delicious recipe which sparked my interest to make it my own.

I too grew up eating this recipe…without the onion though. It one of my very favorite thing to eat! I love it hot or room temperature. Now as an adult…I do add onion. I make it at least once a week. I love it so much !

I grew up eating a tortilla weekly. My great aunt made the best. Her mom was born in Spain. She always had onion in hers and sometimes she would add green pepper she would roast and take the skin off. That was my fave it may not be authentic but my Abuela made them that way!

In reply to Brian klaver. Glad to hear that, Brian! :) The traditional Spanish omelette is very simple and many don't even add the onion. Now that being said, if you like garlic and would like to add it, you absolutely can (I would suggest sautéing it first and adding it to the potatoes at the very end, not frying them together).Enjoy!

I love Spanish omelette, both warm and cold, for breakfast or lunch! I sometimes make it with leftover potatoes which may not taste exactly the same as yours but is good too!
