Tortilla española (also called tortilla de patatas) is one of Spain's most iconic dishes, but its precise origin is genuinely disputed among historians, with competing claims placing its invention in Navarre in the early 19th century, during the Carlist Wars as an inexpensive way to feed troops, or elsewhere in Spain at other points; no single account is verified beyond doubt. What's clear is that potato and egg — both relatively affordable, filling ingredients — combined into a dish that became a defining part of Spanish home cooking nationwide.
