Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large red potatoes chopped in large cubes
  • 5-6 oz (140-170 g) fresh pork chorizo
  • vegetable oil
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 tsp (0.75 tsp) paprika
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 (0.5) serrano pepper seeds & ribs removed, minced
  • 4 large eggs beaten
  • 2 scallions chopped
  • 1 small handful cilantro chopped

To Serve

  • queso fresco
  • lime wedges
  • salsa or hot sauce

Equipment

  • Cast Iron Pan
  • Medium Pot

Instructions
 

  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add a large pinch of salt and the potatoes; boil 4-5 minutes, until almost tender. Drain the potatoes and spread out on a towel to dry.
  2. Meanwhile cook the chorizo over medium-low heat until cooked through and crisp on the edges, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chorizo to a paper towel lined plate. Increase the heat to medium high, add a few tablespoons of oil and the potatoes to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until well browned, 10-12 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, paprika, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  3. Turn the heat down to medium-low; add the garlic & serrano to the pan, cook 1 minute. Add the eggs, stir for a minute or so until the eggs are cooked through; remove from heat.
  4. Off the heat, stir in the scallions and cilantro. Serve with queso fresco, lime wedges, salsa, and/or hot sauce.

Notes

For extra crunch, let the potatoes caramelize fully before adding other ingredients. Adjust the spice level by using more or less serrano pepper.
