Question: Whats spanish about a spanish omelet!?
Answers:
Cut potatoes in small squares and fry until lightly golden and cooked through!. Cool and mix with beaten eggs seasoned with salt to taste!. Cook in a bit of olive oil on one side lifting edges to allow liquid to run under the omelet!. When it is almost set invert it onto a plate and then slide the bottom or uncooked side onto the frying pan!. Cook a few minutes until light golden!. It is usually eaten at room temperature and makes a very substantial sandwich when put between two pieces of French style bread!. Some people add onions, others use different vegetables, and even others use shrimp or ham!. Any filling will work but the potato is the original one!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
