BREAKFAST HASH WITH CHORIZO & EGGS Recipes

Do you make big breakfasts on the weekend?  I don’t as frequently as I use to when I had two boys living at home, but sometimes we enjoy cooking a bigger breakfast and this Breakfast Hash with Chorizo & Eggs hits the spot!

After I posted a recipe for Hassleback Potatoes with Chorizo and Eggs my neighbor, who loves chorizo just as much as I do, brought me a package of the kind of chorizo she uses (Cacique is the brand).  It’s a Mexican chorizo that comes in a tube rather than individual links. I thought a “hash” with the chorizo and potatoes cooked in my cast iron skillet sounded like a good idea.

I cut up the potatoes into chunks along with an onion and orange bell pepper.   Cooked it up in a little oil in the skillet.  While that was cooking, I cooked the chorizo in a different pan (wasn’t sure how it would cook up), then added it to the potatoes.  When I was ready to serve breakfast, I fried up a couple eggs to put on top. Garnished with a little shredded cheddar, green onion and cilantro and declared it breakfast!

INGREDIENTS

• 4 C. diced red potatoes
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 orange bell pepper, diced
• couple shakes of salt & pepper
• Oil for cooking
• 1 pkg. chorizo
• eggs – 1 or 2 per person, depending on how many eggs each person wants
• Garnish: Shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, chopped cilantro

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Dice potatoes into chunks. I quartered them, then cut the quarters in half, so I got 8 chunks per potato. Cut onion and orange bell pepper into similar sized pieces. Heat skillet and add some oil to cook the potatoes, onions and peppers. I like to cover the potatoes while they cook and continue to stir occasionally so they don’t burn.
2. Meanwhile, brown/cook chorizo in pan, then add to potatoes. When ready to serve, add potato/chorizo mixture to plate and top with fried egg. Garnish with shredded cheese, sliced green onion and some chopped cilantro.
