The potato omelette, or "tortilla de patatas," is a classic Spanish dish made from eggs, potatoes, and onions, often cooked in olive oil. This versatile recipe, originating in Spain, is enjoyed as a main meal, snack, or tapa. With its simple ingredients, the dish is packed with nutritious qualities: eggs provide high-quality protein, essential vitamins, and minerals; potatoes offer carbohydrates, fiber, and potassium; and olive oil contributes healthy monounsaturated fats. The inclusion of onions adds antioxidants and flavor. While the potato omelette can be a filling and energy-boosting option, the cooking method—primarily frying—can add extra calories and fat, depending on the amount of oil used. Moderation and mindful preparation, such as using less oil or baking, can enhance its health benefits. Whether served warm or cold, the potato omelette is a satisfying and wholesome staple of Mediterranean cuisine.
