Potato tortilla, or "tortilla de patatas," is a traditional Spanish dish made primarily with eggs, potatoes, and onions. It's a staple in Spanish cuisine, often served as a tapa or enjoyed as part of a meal. The potatoes are typically fried in olive oil, then combined with sautéed onions and beaten eggs, creating a thick, hearty omelet that's cooked until golden. Nutritionally, potato tortilla provides a good source of protein from the eggs and carbohydrates from the potatoes, while the use of olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. However, frying can increase its calorie content, so portion control is key for those mindful of their energy intake. Rich in essential vitamins such as B6 and potassium, it’s a balanced and satisfying option, blending simple ingredients into a flavorful dish that reflects the essence of Spanish home cooking.
