In my eating and research of European food and obvious availability throughout history it has become clear how much potatoes and Western European diets go hand-in-hand.
I say this in part because my German born mother would and could eat potatoes every night for dinner if I hadn't of whined so much about disliking them.
This recipe is as much comfort food as it is Spanish food and it's super simple (a word I throw around a lot, but truly this really is foolproof).
It's almost not an egg dish, but rather a dish that has an egg to top it off, but this would be perfect food to warm on a cool winter day or simply to re-energize after some intense working out.
