yes , aldehyde shows keto enol tautamerism , beacuse keto form is more stable in the case of aldehyde . 
the besic nessasaity for keto enol tautamerism is the presence of acidic hydrogen at the alpha position of the ketone . 
coming to the stability , it depends upon intermolecular hydrogen bonding , substituted group attached to ketone , resonance , and inductive effect .
