Found this recipe on the internet. It had ingredients that I like and was stated to be a typical spanish omelette. Update: This is just the basic start, use this and then add seasonings, vegetables and meats and/or cheeses to suit your taste. After cooking it you might want to add ketchup, salsa or hot pepper sauce, be creative!!!!

This was a lovely treat. I did add some cheddar but otherwise kept it simple. We have already decided that this will not be the last time we enjoy this omelette. Thanks for sharing! Made for ZWT5 for the Hell's Kitchen Angels.

    This was a delicious, typical Spanish omelette. I ended up only using one medium/large potato and a half an onion to make two omelettes. I added peppers and some cheese like others and it all cooked up nicely in my little omelette maker. Thanks for this very nice recipe! Made for ZWT5 for the Dining Daredevils :D

My family absolutely LOVED this hearty & filling recipe for breakfast. Thanks for sharing, diner! Made for ZWT-5.

    OH YUM!! Made this for ZWT5 so I tarted it up some - sorry - Spanished it up some I made this as 1 large omelette for the two of us and added approximately 1/2 cup of diced red peppers, a handful or two of shredded old cheddar, sprinkled the mixture with Pimenton Dulce (Sweet Spanish Paprica) and added some Saffron to the eggs. I'll be making this many, many times again. So versetile! Thank you for posting.
