Potatoes with Chorizo

July 19, 2021 by Amber 7 Comments

Potatoes with Chorizo is made with diced russet potatoes, red bell peppers, onion, taco seasoning and Mexican chorizo topped with a sunny-side up egg. Great for breakfast, lunch of dinner!

Potatoes with Chorizo is a spin on an authentic Papas con Chorizo which is a simple dish typically made with potatoes, chorizo and onion. Today, I just added a bit more flavors with taco seasoning and bell pepper for more of a Tex-Mex version. Also, I changed up the cooking process a bit by not just cooking on the stovetop but roasting the potatoes in the oven. Still a simple dish to make for the family that you can eat in a breakfast bowl like I did today or to put into tortillas for some delicious tacos or even on some crunchy tostadas. 

Potatoes with Chorizo

Potatoes with Chorizo have a base of tender, perfectly roasted potatoes that have been flavored up with onion and red bell pepper. A packet of taco seasoning serves as an easy seasoning solution to amp up the flavor just a pinch more. Speaking of flavor…. the chorizo is everything adding in that nice spice. A sunny-side up egg completes this dish for me with a nice runny yolk spilling over the food as eating. 

Chorizo

If you are not familiar with chorizo, it is a pork sausage that is typically spicy and heavily seasoned. For this recipe, you want a Mexican chorizo that is ground or in casings which can be removed. Just be sure not to buy a Spanish chorizo which is typically smoked as you want that raw sausage to cook. 

Egg

I prefer this dish with a sunny-side up egg. However, you can cook your eggs any way you prefer. Fried is simple and just as delicious or making a batch of scrambled eggs makes cooking breakfast a lot quicker when cooking for a crowd.

Description

Potatoes with Chorizo is made with diced russet potatoes, red bell peppers, onion, taco seasoning and Mexican chorizo topped with a sunny-side up egg.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large Russet potatoes, diced (6 cups worth)
  • 2 red bell peppers, diced
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 1 ounce packet taco seasoning
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • ground pepper
  • 1 pound chorizo
  • 6 eggs
  • non-stick cooking spray

Garnish and Additions (optional)

  • hot sauce
  • green onion
  • lime
  • fresh avocado or guacamole

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Wash produce.
  3. Dice potatoes (skin on), bell pepper and onion.
  4. Place just the diced potatoes on a baking sheet and sprinkle with the taco seasoning, salt and pepper.
  5. Drizzle with olive oil and mix in with potatoes well.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven, add in the diced onion and bell pepper. Stir and bake another 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender when a fork is inserted.
  8. As the potatoes finish cooking, cook chorizo on the stovetop on a medium-high heat in a skillet. If chorizo is in casings, remove from casings and cook until browned throughout which should take about 6 minutes.
  9. Place chorizo onto a plate to the side, wipe pan clean and spray with nonstick spray and place pan back onto heat turning down to medium.
  10. Crack each egg and add to pan cooking until whites are set. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  11. Add a heap of potatoes to a plate topped with chorizo and an egg. Green onion, hot sauce, fresh lime and avocado are also great additions.
