Tortilla sandwiches

You see these a lot in Spain. For me, they took some getting used to. Slices of potato omelet as a sandwich filling? I’m all for carbs, but doesn’t that seem a bit nuts? And then I tried one and it was good. Of course, I was in a place at that exact moment, personally, that made a heavy, carb-laden, eggy concoction really hit the spot, if you know what I mean. But then I had one while waiting for a flight at the Madrid airport. I was not hung over, it wasn’t the best possible version of a tortilla sandwich (airport food is airport food the world over from what I can tell), and it was still a pretty impressive food item.

So our leftover goose egg tortilla was cut into slices, layered in lengths of baguette, and called dinner (along with a salad, as is our way).  How can room temperature potato and egg and bread be so satisfying?
