Spanish omelette with potato as an ingredient is famous across the world. We usually cook it in a pan. But it is a new idea to bake it. I think cook time is a little bit longer for this dish . The flavors of eggs ,potato,peppers and other spices have made it an absolutely delicious dish. It will be a very good appetizer before the main course. Keep posting such new and variety dishes.
