Spanish Omelette (Tortilla Espanola)

A classic, cost effective tapas dish the whole family can enjoy. This is also perfect for picnics and packed lunches. If you are serving for baby-led weaning ensure to slice into thin strips or small chunks (as age appropriate). This is a slightly less traditional take on a Spanish Omelette but hopefully a crowd-pleaser nonetheless!

Serves: 4-6

Prep: 5-10 Mins

  3. Line a pie dish with greaseproof paper, then tip in the potatoes.
  4. Whisk the eggs with some cracked pepper and an optional tbsp of chopped chives (for older kids and adults you may want to add salt at this point but I would leave it out for small kids).

Additional Information

Chives are not a traditional ingredient and completely optional of you don't want to add them- you could also use parsley too if you prefer. You could add some lightly fried onion to this when you tip in the eggs.
