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.
