Potato and Eggplant Tortilla Española
In Spain, a tortilla is a thick, hearty, frittata-like omelet, usually made with potatoes and onion. We make it even more substantial with the addition of eggplant and garlic. Chinese and Japanese eggplants—the varieties called for in this recipe—have thinner skins and fewer seeds than large globe eggplants. If you can't find either, you can substitute Italian or globe, but remove the peel before cutting it into cubes. Aioli is a great accompaniment to any type of tortilla.

Tip
Don't use a conventional skillet; nonstick is essential for the tortilla to slide easily out of the pan. Also, the skillet must be oven-safe, as the tortilla finishes cooking in a 350°F oven.

Great!
Have made this traditionally with only potato and onion. Adding the eggplant stepped it up a notch. Will definitely make it again.

Versatile recipe can be adapted to what's in the pantry.
Since this recipe came out in the magazine, I have made it 30 to 40 times. It is very adaptable as long as one uses the onions and potatoes. In place of the eggplant, use zucchini, roasted or smoked red bell peppers (added a bit later in sequence), cooked broccoli or cauliflower florets. Makes a fast and delicious dinner or brunch with a side salad.
Love this recipe–it's now a family staple and I make it at least weekly. Great as is, but even better: add 1 T sherry vinegar to raw egg mixture. Also, I've experimented with reducing raw potatoes and substituting a handful or two of potato chips (classic style, soak at least 5 minutes in raw eggs), and those modifications are *glorious*

I made this for breakfast. I did not add eggplants (I LOVE eggplant but my family does not). It was easy to make and tasty. You can add anything you want into this recipe. Next time, I will cook bacon then add it as garnish or with eggs.
