No.  There are tortillas with such ingredients as bacon, cheese, onions, and 
truffles, but none with potatoes.  The only potato recipes in Granado are for 
preserves (and these are probably sweet potatoes).

The 1758 "Nuevo Arte de Cozina" has a recipe for an omelette made with 
"calabaza" (some kind of pumpkin or squash), onion, tomato, and parsley.  
The only other omelette recipe it contains is made with fish.  The recipe 
specifies that the the fish should be cut up, just as if one were making an 
omelette with bacon.  There is no recipe given in that cookbook for a bacon 
omelette.

It may be hard to document when the potato omelette first showed up, 
because omelettes are such simple simple dishes, and variations are easy 
to devise.
