Ingredients for Chorizo and Potato Hash

Olive oil creates a rich base for sautéing and adds a hint of fruitiness. Chorizo sausage brings a spicy, smoky flavor that defines the dish. The onion and garlic add depth and aromatic richness. Potatoes provide a hearty, comforting base, while the red bell pepper adds sweetness and color. Cilantro gives a fresh, herbal finish. Eggs make the dish satisfying and protein-rich. A touch of lime brightens everything up with its zesty tang.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for a better texture and flavor.
  • If you prefer less heat, opt for a mild chorizo or mix it with regular sausage.
  • For extra crispy potatoes, avoid overcrowding the skillet.

Serving Suggestions

This hash pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or some crusty bread to mop up all those delicious juices. For a complete meal, serve it alongside a refreshing avocado and tomato salad.

Chorizo and Potato Hash Recipe Walkthrough

Start by heating up 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add in your sliced chorizo. Cook the chorizo for about 5 minutes, or until it’s nicely browned and the aroma fills your kitchen. Remove the chorizo, but leave that flavorful oil in the skillet.

Now, toss in your chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté them in the chorizo-infused oil for around 3 minutes until the onion turns translucent. This step is crucial as it forms the aromatic base of your hash.

Next, add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Season them with salt and pepper according to your taste. Let them cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want them to be crispy on the outside but tender on the inside.

Once the potatoes are just right, mix in the diced red bell pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. The bell pepper should be slightly softened but still vibrant.

Return the chorizo to the skillet, mixing everything together so the flavors meld beautifully.

In a separate pan, fry your eggs to your liking. Whether you enjoy them sunny-side-up, over-easy, or fully cooked, it’s up to you!

Serve your hash topped with the fried eggs. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a generous squeeze of lime juice for that perfect finish.
