Tortilla Española

Hello everyone!

For fun, I present to you a cooking photo-adventure of a favorite of mine from study abroad.

The Tortilla Española!
But instead of your typical flour-based flatbread from Latin America, it's a unique way of preparing an omelette that turns out to be absolutely delicious. You can find them at all the restaurants you come across in Spain.

We will need:



1 Large Potato (Yukon Gold is best)
3-4 Eggs
Olive Oil (copious amounts of)
Salt

Optional:
Onion
Green Bell Pepper

You'll need a peeler, a good knife for dicing, and a small frying pan (~6 inches).

The standard tortilla is simply eggs and potato, but you can add any number of other ingredients (ham, squash, etc.). The optional ingredients I chose serve to add delicious flavor to the dish. The onion is vital, but the green bell pepper is a personal favorite.
