La tortilla española lleva cebolla (onion) siempre. Si no la llevase sería solo tortilla de patatas.

I can't say this is Spanish, since every Sicilian and Eyetalian I know makes it. It is yummy MMMMMMMM this is a going to the beach omlet from when I was a kid, no cash to buy enough hot dods for all of us so we had thermos hotdogs and kraut and potato onion olets, (also added green pepper sometimes, but I am a purist here and just like the onions)

brings back memories

Gracias por el amigo de la receta. Me gustó mucho esta comida dedicar y había estado esperando a la prueba durante unos días ahora. Sin embargo, creo que su sabor es bueno con la salsa y el queso en la parte superior. Pero eso es sólo mi opinon. Gracias una vez más fue muy buena.

Thanks for the recipe friend. I really liked this meal allot and had been waiting to try it for a few days now. I however think that it tastes good with salsa and cheese on top. But thats just my opinon. Thank you once again it was very good.

Tasty! However, you leave me in a state of shock. I would never dare to make genuine german ,,tortilla espanola'' without freshly ground pepper ;).

Oh, I've never heard about German omelette recipe... Do you add peppers instead of onion or recipe is different? It will be a good idea if you post a new instructable with your recipe, to learn more.

I'm talking about pepper the spice. Usually black pepper.

There is no special german recipe, at least not one i'm aware of. My omelette wouldn't contain potatoes but bacon and double cream. And lots of pepper of course. Since i don't have a digital camera, you need to make it yourself to see it ;).

I have tried your variant with half carrots and half potatoes, it was very popular :).
