Spanish Potato Omelet, also known as Tortilla Espanola, is a traditional Spanish dish made with eggs, potatoes, and onions. It is a staple in many Spanish households and is often served as a tapa or appetizer. The omelet is typically cooked on the stovetop and then finished in the oven, resulting in a deliciously crispy exterior and a fluffy, flavorful interior. It is a versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and can be enjoyed hot or cold.
