It is simply delicious served with sofrito, fried tomato sauce that is made all over Spain. Tomatoes, onions, garlic, green peppers and olive oil sautéed in a frying pan.
Variations
The following are a few of the most popular variations to the classic Spanish Omelet.
- Green Pepper - Add 1 green or red bell pepper (chopped) to the potatoes and onions and fry.
- Chorizo - Slice a Spanish chorizo sausage and add to the potato and onion mixture after frying.
- Ham - Using a couple thick slices (1/4") ham, finely chop them. Then add the pieces to the potato and onion mixture after frying. Canadian bacon or smoked ham that you buy in a deli work well for this variation. Be careful to adjust the salt accordingly, since ham may be salty!
