About Spanish Tortilla
A thick Spanish omelette of potatoes and onion slowly cooked in olive oil, then set with eggs. A wedge is about 162 kcal — the oil absorbed by the potatoes is where most of the fat comes from.
Tip: Draining the potatoes well before adding the eggs cuts a lot of the oil. Served as tapas, a pintxo slice is half a wedge.
