Tortilla is something that if you go to Spain you can basically get anywhere/anytime. Tortilla is not to be confused with the Mexican tortilla as they are obviously not the same thing. I havent checked the Etymology of the word but for sure it is an interesting one.
Also, in Spain a plain egg omelette is called "French omelette". Go and figure!
Now to the recipe. This one contains some small pieces of pepper&carrots just to add some color, flavor and texture.
Rather than doing it the normal/traditional way, I did microwave the
vegetables instead of shallow frying, just to save some time. I dont
think that affects too much the flavour and texture. You can see the
recipe here:

I lived in Spain for five years and this is the actual recipe I was given for the "Spanish Tortilla" (without the carrots but there are many versions!).... but I never heard of a "French Omelette".... this is, I think but maybe not?, the National dish of Spain and it is the basic potato omellete.... and I know for sure no people I ever met in five years of living in Spain and traveling all over the country called it a "French Olmelette"!!!...
