Don't confuse this with the flour or corn tortillas you use to make wraps. A Spanish tortilla is a potato-and-egg omelet found on numerous menus throughout Spain. Traditionally these are cooked in heaps of olive oil. Our version uses less oil, so it's lower in calories, and if you use precooked diced potatoes, it's faster too.

The Spanish tortilla has nothing in common with the Mexican variety except its shape and its name. One is just a bread. The other can be an appetizer, a snack, or even a light meal. But the Spanish tortilla has another advantage: because it is better at room temperature than it is hot, it should be made in advance, anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours. In its most basic form, the tortilla is a potato and egg open-faced omelet that derives most of its flavor from olive oil. Onions or scallions can replace the potato in part or entirely, as can cooked greens like chard. The only hard part is turning the partly formed tortilla, so do it swiftly and carefully . The worst that will happen is that a little potato and egg will be left behind when you return the cake to the skillet. If you can't bring yourself to risk the flip, just slide the pan into a 375-degree oven until the eggs are completely set, but not overcooked.

Pour 2 teaspoons of oil into a medium nonstick skillet and heat over medium heat

Sauté the sliced onions until they turn translucent, which should take around 3 to 4 minutes

Add the precooked diced red potatoes, finely chopped fresh thyme, and smoked paprika to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes

Break the eggs into a large bowl and whisk them thoroughly

Combine the potato mixture, shredded Manchego cheese, roughly chopped baby spinach, salt, and freshly ground black pepper into the bowl with the whisked eggs and mix until everything is evenly distributed

Clean your skillet and coat it with the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil before heating it over medium heat

Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet, cover it, and let it cook until it's browned at the bottom and the edges are set. This should take about 4 to 5 minutes

To cook the other side, move the pan off the heat and place a large plate over the skillet. While holding the plate tightly over the skillet, invert it so that the tortilla flips onto the plate

Slide the flipped tortilla from the plate back into the skillet and cook until it's thoroughly done in the middle, which should take about 3 to 6 minutes

Serve your Spanish Tortilla warm, or let it cool and enjoy it cold as a refreshing meal
