Tortilla de patatas (Spanish for potato omelette, but sometimes also referred to as Spanish omelette in English) is a popular dish in Spain that can be served either cold or hot. It is also served as a tapas dish. Although potatoes and eggs are the basic and often the only ingredients of a tortilla de patatas, other vegetables can also be found accompanying it such as onions and, more rarely, red peppers, chives, garlic, artichokes, ham or even chorizo, which is then called tortilla paisana. In Spain the dish is also sometimes called tortilla española (Spanish omelette) to differentiate it from tortilla francesa (French omelette).

Preparation and History
The eggs are whipped together, then parboiled potatoes are added. This mixture is fried in a skillet or pan, with additional ingredients added when necessary.
Tortilla is a staple of Castilian viajaquero, or roadhouse-style food; the word itself is often seen as an example of archaic Spanish colloquialism related to the armored suits of travelling 16th century knights in Castille.
