Bandera de España

/Sounds like "pah" (as in "papa") + "TAH" (as in "taco") + "tah" (as in "taco")/

Potato in Spain — the exact same vegetable but with a different name than the rest of the Spanish-speaking world which says 'papa.' It's one of the classic Spain-vs-LatAm vocabulary differences.

Example

"Spanish omelette is made with potatoes and eggs."

"I'll have the baked potato with everything on it."
