Tortilla - Spanish Potato Omelet
Popular Spanish tapas, Tortilla de patatas.
It’s just a potato omelet, but it’s a comfort food.
When we traveled to Barcelona, we tried several famous tortillas. All are slightly different, but all are good.
You can serve it cold or warm.
- Use a small frying pan to cook unless you are making a huge crowd.
- Cook in low to medium heat once you put the eggs.
