Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 lb chorizo, casings removed or diced to 1/2″ if using smoked
- 24 oz Yukon gold or russet potatoes, diced to 1/2″
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 small yellow onion, diced to 1/2″
- 1 red, orange, or yellow bell pepper, diced to 1/2″
- 1–2 jalapeños, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 large eggs
- Chopped chives, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender, about 10–12 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Cook chorizo: In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and chorizo. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Remove and set aside with potatoes.
- Sauté vegetables: Add onion, bell pepper, and jalapeños to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
- Combine hash: Return potatoes and chorizo to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook 2–3 minutes until heated through.
- Cook eggs: Make 4 wells in the hash and crack an egg into each well. Cover and cook until eggs reach desired doneness, about 3–5 minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust jalapeños according to your spice preference.
- You can use smoked chorizo for a deeper flavor.
- For extra crispiness, cook potatoes separately in the oven at 425°F for 15 minutes before adding to the hash.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated gently in a skillet.
