Spanish Omelette | Tortilla de patatas – This yummy omelette is so filling by itself. It is made of eggs, potatoes and onions. You can skip onions if you wish to, but potatoes is what Spanish Omelette is all about.
You can have Spanish Omelette for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This can be served hot or cold too, since it tastes yum anyway.
What does Spanish Omelette go well with
Spanish Omelette is good as a Appetizer or as Main course. It can be served hot or cold. I prefer it as a side accompaniment to rice (very little rice, since this omelette is very filling) or as a breakfast option.
Variations
You can skip the onions if you wish to. Also, I have used red chilli flakes for garnish, you can choose your favorite seasoning for garnish.
