More patience and medium heat for the small-cubed potatoes work better for me. Added some sliced red chilli for a spicy touch (can't help being Malaysian!). Pan tip: After sliding omelette onto a big plate. Invert pan over the omelette and turn the whole plate/pan combo over. Then place pan back on stove. Easy!

I loved it! Of course I tweeked it to my taste like cutting out the tomato and onion. It tasted just like I remembered when I lived in Spain for a semester long ago! Loved it thanks!

This was very good! I just made it for breakfast and it was delicious! I made it without the salsa on the side and added a bit of grated cheese on top...was very tasty and very filling! Thank you for this recipe! Will definately make again!

Tortilla Espanola, as this is called in Spain, is definitely part of the Spanish way of life. They eat very light dinners over there and when I lived there we would have this at least twice a week (served with crusty bread and a simple lettuce salad dressed with vinegar and olive oil). While I was in Seville, I was taught by a Spaniard I met there how to make this and this is pretty much what he taught me. The only thing I really do differently is to stir the potatoes often while cooking so that they don't get browned. You really want them to be very soft and tender, not crispy. It's also worth noting that in some regions of Spain they do not use onions (I lived for a while in Salamanca, which is about 3 hours west of Madrid, and they never used onions there). It's good either way but I find that when made with onions it is a little more moist. I currently make it without because my boyfriend is allergic to onions. Every time I saw this served in a home, it was simply made with just potatoes, eggs, and maybe onions. I never saw anybody garnish it with tomatoes and green onion (or anything, really), although in restaurants they would often mix in other vegetables or ham so you can really add whatever you like. Another tip I use is to determine when the eggs are fully cooked, insert a butter knife into the center of the tortilla. If it comes out clean, it is done.

This was good..pretend its an egg tortilla and put whatever you like for the topping... Never had my potatoes in the omelet itself but it was worth it... I always mix my eggs and potatoes in the diner as I'm sure most do, so what the heck.. It was pretty good and real easy.

Delicious. I used half an onion, two potatos, a head of broccoli in floretts, a handful of sugar snap peas and 5 baby corn cobs, six eggs. I didnt have any meat so just used a tablespoon of chicken stock. Seasoned with black pepper, and garlic salt. Fabulous.

This was pretty tasty, although I made mine more like a scramble than an omelet. I fried up the potatoes and onions first, and then poured in the eggs and scrambled everything together. I also cooked the tomatoes instead of adding them at the end, but skipped the green onion. By scrambling it all together, I think I shaved a considerable amount of time on the cooking process. I added about a 1/2 cup of sharp cheddar, and that was really tasty. Next time, I think I'll add green pepper.

I have got to give this five stars, because it is just amazing. A Spanish friend made this for me once and this tastes just like hers, with the adjustments I made: I leave out the tomatoes and green onions (because she said in Spain they don't put them in), and it tastes so good without them that I can't bear to try it WITH them! :) One other tip: After I cook the potatoes and onions in oil, I put the eggs and potatoes together (combine very gently) in a bowl, and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. The cooked potatoes absorbs the egg, and it's just SO moist. Last thing... I find that the dish tastes best if I turn the heat off shortly before it feels right to do so. It still looks a teeny bit moist and eggy inside - but when I cook it any longer it gets much drier. Mmmmm moist! Thanks Patty!

I fried some beacon with the onion - it's a nice alternative. Had this dish in Spain and we loved it.

This was the perfect way to use up some leftover potatoes. Added more seasonings and a bit of jack cheese. Hubby was a happy boy. Thanks!

...I love the potato omelet this produces..Used leftover baked potatoes and they fried up beautifully. Since they were already cooked I browned them in butter rather than evoo...whipped up the eggs with aprox 3 Tbls of water and rather than a diced tomato and gr onion garnish I topped with shredded cheddar and picante sauce..REALLY GOOD!..especially with a cold glass of fresh O.J...:)

Great breakfast start. I topped with sliced black olives, green and red bell peppers to add a variety of color. I skipped the part about inverting the omelette into a second pan. Instead I simply folded the omelette in half down the middle to form a half-moon or crepe-like shape. Would make it again!

I added some green pepper in with the onion. I wasn't even going to attempt turning it over as I'm very accident prone. So I did what I always do with omelettes,once the egg mixture had set I put it under the broiler on medium heat until golden brown. I ended up with fluffy omelettes we all enjoyed. Thanks
