Tortilla Española

Tortilla Española is perhaps the quintessential Spanish tapa. The simple combination of eggs and potatoes is surprisingly satisfying. Cafe Sevilla's version is garnished with marinated mushrooms, chives, and roasted red peppers, giving the dish a festive presentation.

Cook Tip: If you don't have a deep frier, potatoes can be pan fried.
