    Very good. Seems those who complain it isn't authentic are missing the point of the Food Network. There must be authentic recipes in many cookbooks. Here I'm looking for something different, and I often make my own changes depending on my family's preferences.

    Though there are better and more traditional Spanish Omelet recipes, this is a good one, not authentic nor as delicious as the real thing, but a good one nonetheless. The real one is very simple with eggs, onions, potatoes (some recipes call for diced, others for sliced, spanish chorizo (optional, and olive oil. This is a friendlier version where you don't have to flip the omelet, which can be a disaster for non-experienced cooks.

    I made this for dinner tonight. I have to agree with a few of the other reviewers. Giada never claimed this was an authentic Spanish dish. Take it for what it is...which is tasty. C'mon folks, lighten up.

    Such negativity in these reviews! Food is supposed to be fun, folks! Giada said on the show that she was putting her own "spin" on the food. She never said she was strictly following tradition! This is a great recipe. Sheesh.

    This was awesome! I can't understand why the other person didn't like it. I agree with the other person who said Giada put her own spin on it. My whole family loved it. Thanks Giada.

    I saw Giada make this on her show yesterday; at that point the only review on here was mst523 who only gave it one star. I decided to make it anyway and truly can't understand the negative reviews - I thought it was fabulous. Instead of using 2/3 cup water to cook the potatoes and onions I used chicken stock because I had it on hand. And, since I could not find Marcona Almonds I changed the cheese to Cheddar and used Salsa instead of the Romesco Sauce. It was delicous!!!

    Um, ick. Nothing like a tortilla espanola. Avoid this one.

    Sorry Giada, but you took a traditional dish and turned it upside down... or didn't, since you usually do flip a real tortilla espanola. Although I understand making it easier to make and healthier with less oil, I don't understand the ingredients! At least pick something traditional to throw in the mix.

    I couldn't pick a spanish potato omelette out of a lineup. But this was good. I probably added to the sacrilege the other reviewers think happened by adding a half cup of chorizo. Nevertheless, it was tasty and fairly easy to make. I would leave out the chorizo, it did not need it and pump up the onions a bit. if the potato mix seems a bit flat before adding it into the eggs, do not salt it! plenty of flavor in the egg mixture to make it up. I also did not cool the potato mixture all the way as I was hungry from watching the show. ;-
