Spanish Potato Chip Omelette

I have adapted this recipe a little to suit our house and our frypan size. It's really very basic, so lets see what interesting ideas you come up with. A Spanish Potato omelette is made with precooked usually fried potatoes, so this is a clever way to substitute and save on cooking time.
