    MINOUCHKA -- I love this easy and delish recipe. Made it several times. Added to the potatoes sliced asparagus or chopped spinach and a bid of shredded cheese, or whatever I had on hand as a veggie. Also it makes a great lunch or light supper w/ crusty bread on the side. MM MM GOOD!

    Nice to see this. We ate it for dinner frequently when I was growing up in the 1960s - and we're Italians!

      My family did too! It was Friday dinner, since as Catholics did back, then we didn't eat meat on that day.

    At the heart of the Spanish tortilla are eggs and potatoes. So, yea, it is a potato heavy dish. This is a great variation while keeping the important potato heavy aspect, as it should be.

    This recipe is a great lower-calorie alternative to a quiche or a breakfast casserole. So delicious!

    The recipe was okIt's a very potato rich dish and like others I added mushroom and I also added some spinach. It wasn't too flavorful and I think it would have been much better with cheese. This is a family dinner dish so that it can be eaten in one sitting because you will get tired of digging into it everyday! Can be used as a good side for chicken. I suggest you add what appeals your taste buds and how health conscious you are. Bacon, salsa on top, cheese, cream of mushroom all sound good.

    Fast, easy and pretty good! And you can put in any vegetable that's in the fridge.

    I've made this several times just as the recipe suggests. Everyone has loved it. Last time my grandson eyed it questionably, tasted it, and then ate about half! It must be good!
