The other day, I took a class at the Four Seasons Hotel, with my girlfriend. There we cooked up several 30-minute meals in a spectacular professional kitchen, and then sat down at a formal table with the class and ate the healthy feast. Not only did I have a wonderful day with my girlfriend, bonding over healthy cooking, but I’m learning more and more on how to lighten up recipes by cooking with less oil, and increasing vegetables in your dishes. This omelet could have easily made it onto the list of recipes cooked in this class.
Spanish Potato Omelet is perfect for breakfast or a brunch. The simplicity of starting the cooking process in a skillet and finishing up in the oven, makes it one of my favorite breakfast meals to cook. This is one of those dishes that taste even better the next day.

No red pepper – no cilantro – and definitely NO OREGANO. Now you’ll be closer to an actual Tortilla Española!
