    This turned out great. I loved the simplicity of ingredients - I ended up more with a thin layer of eggs on one side with the potato onion mixture as more of a "crust". Frankly, it was simple, tasty, healthy....who's not for that. This will definitely become an easy favorite in our house. Don't listen to the review that said this was terrible...it isn't!

    THE RECIPE is given fine. But it is easier if you know how to do it... it does need better explaination. The recipe is great ... I add a little piece of red pepper with the onion ( about two( -2x1-inch piece cut in small pieces.

    This recipe is terrible, and gives very unclear instructions.

    HERE is a recipe that really works. Don't worry about the amount of oil used. It's all drained off and the finished tortilla is PERFECTION--not this mashed potato mess.

    I always thought that making a Spanish Omelette like the ones that my mom makes would be hard, but actually, this recipe was very easy (even for a klutz like me and tasted as good as mom's!!

    The potatoes take a lot longer than a few minutes to cook in order to mash. When I flipped it as instructed in the recipe, it broke up into pieces. I certainly wouldn't recommend making this the first time for company.
    Really not much different from eggs on hash browns.

    I've been looking for a recipe that is just like the Tortilla Espanola I had in Spain several years ago. This is the recipe!!! Five stars, it's just like the tortilla I ate in the Plaza Mayor in Madrid!

    Had to use two skillets to fry the potatoes (good when you don't have that big of a skillet and cooks the potatoes through very well. Put them all together in one skillet and mashed them with the onions. Used six eggs instead of 3 (the 3 didn't coat the entire mixture well. The "flip" was a success and the taste was great! Next time though I will use Spanish Olive Oil instead of the Italian - believe this will make a difference in the sweetness of the taste. Loved it!
