This dish isn't new for me, indeed I've make it lots of times, but I thought that it would be a good idea to share it because I've seen in internet some crazy recipes calling for medium eggs and load of potatoes O_O
The basic Spanish omelette uses one large egg and one medium sized potato per person (if you're making an omelette to feed 4 people then you must use 4 large eggs and 4 medium sized potatoes) apart from salt for seasoning and olive oil for frying. This is the very basic recipe, and from here you can make a wiiiiiiiide variety of omelettes. The most common ones add chorizo or ham and cheese or onion to the basic recipe or they put some topping on it (anchovies, peppers...). The options are uncountable: the Spanish omelette is like a sandwich, you can add anything to it and it will taste great ^^
Personally, I love it with chorizo or morcilla or garlic. The ham and cheese one also tastes good, but it's a bit more complicated to make because you can't add the ingredients to the mixture of egg and potatoes, you have to first put in the pan some egg and potato mixture, then layer the ham and the cheese and finally add some more egg and potatoes.
So, the recipe is as follows:
Ingredients:
1 large egg per ration
1 medium sized potato per ration
Salt for seasoning
Olive oil
Method:

1 large egg per ration
1 medium sized potato per ration
Salt for seasoning
Olive oil
Method:
- Heat some oil in a frying pan (about 1 inch).
- Peel the potatoes and chop them very fine.
- Season the potatoes with the salt.
- Fry the potatoes in the preheated oil.
- Beat the eggs and add a pinch of salt.
- Take out the potatoes from the oil and add them to the eggs. Mix until well combined (this is the point in wich you could add other ingredients).
- Put very little oil from frying the potatoes in another pan and heat it.
- Put the egg and potato mixture into the pan and fry until the egg seems to be less runy.
- Put a plate over the pan and flip it. Then add again very little oil to the pan and slide back into the pan the semi-cooked omelette. Cook for a minute or two and take it out.
