Spanish Tortilla (Spanish Omelette) Recipe

When i was living in spain one of the most famous spanish appetizer or at any time quick meal is Spanish Tortilla(Spanish Omelette). It is so easy to make with only two main ingredients eggs and potatoes. Some people in spain add additional of veggie as onion, espaniche or garlic. But i prefer it simple and full of potatoes, and that’s the main recipe, which i love.

To prepare this lovely recipe i suggest to buy potatoes using for poached, and turn tender quickly so not to wait to much until potatoes cooked. In Belgium it’s easy to find several type of potatoes in supermarkets, but of course you can use the one in hands.
