Tortilla of Potato and Onions
"This is not a Mexican dish. In Mexico, a tortilla is a fried cornmeal or flour pancake. In Spain, a tortilla is an omelet, turned once in the pan, then served in wedges like a pie. This dish is common in the tapas bars of Madrid. This serves 4 as a light dinner....or 8 as tapas. Use a non-stick or a well seasoned pan as you need to flip it."

This was okay as a base, but we all really thought it needed something. I live with a lot of chileheads, though. It would definitely be 4 stars or even 5 with some melty cheese, a zippy sauce, or some bacon/ham. Thank you for posting, I will probably play around with this. :) Made for ZWT5, for the Groovy GastroGnomes.

Yikes!! My daughter had fun in PaintShop Pro!! What she can do with a picture.
My husband and I live in the "bush" and hour from the closest town. Life here is quiet, yet so much more busy than when we lived in the "city". We grow our own veggies, several kinds of berries, and grow lots of hard neck organic garlic. We have 60 chickens, 4 dogs, 1 cat, 1 bird. Quite the menagerie.
I make all my own breads, and sell them (along with the eggs). I have a group of friends whom I make extra goodies for.
