Tortilla Espanola: Spanish Omelette with Sweet Potatoes Recipe

Tortilla Espanola: Spanish Omelette with Sweet Potatoes Recipe

By Angela McGowan

Spanish omelettes are a perfect cheap meal for a busy weeknight. They are also referred to as tortilla espanolas. Every Spanish country and every family has there own special recipe, and I have had so many delicious versions. My rule for these wonderful potato omelettes is that there are no rules, except to have 2 of the ingredients be eggs and potatoes. Beyond that, just clean your refrigerator out and get creative. Now that my hubs is in his first of three unpaid internships, I will be trying to cut corners when ever possible. Eggs are a great way to stretch a buck, especially when you add potatoes. Instead of adding cheese, I added some smoky bacon.

Here are all of the colorful veggies before I added the eggs. Most people slow cook the omelettes on the stove-top, covered, or bake them. To speed things up, I finished it off quickly under the broiler before serving.
