The above sounds like a close variation of a
tortilla española, which is quite similar to what
Italians would know as a frittata. In Spain,
frequently found in tapas bars and a common
packed-up lunch staple (and much more fun than
PBJ). I wonder when it actually does originate in
its current form, though, since I assume that
even Spanish Jews fleeing the Inquisition didn't
have access to potatoes prior to 1492.
Brighid, is there anything like a tortilla di
papas/tortilla espanola in Granado?
