Ingredients

• 8 oz chorizo sausage
• 2 medium russet potatoes
• 6 eggs
• 1 small onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp paprika (optional)
• 2 green onions (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small 1/2-inch cubes. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and crispy. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Step 4

Crumble the chorizo into the skillet with the onions and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully browned and cooked through.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, cooked potatoes, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using) to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until fully beaten. Push the chorizo and potato mixture to one side of the skillet to create space, then pour the eggs into the empty side.

Step 7

Gently scramble the eggs on the empty side of the skillet until they are just cooked, then mix everything together.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy your Chorizo Potatoes and Eggs!
