Breakfast Hash with Chorizo & Eggs

10/26/2013 by Judy 20 Comments

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!

Breakfast Hash with Chorizo and EggAfter 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!

But I didn’t stop there.  After I gave my husband his plate, I had some potato/chorizo mixture left over so I thought I’d also try it with scrambled eggs instead of fried eggs.  That was really awesome too!  In fact, personally, I liked this version better.   Just scramble the eggs in the same skillet with the remaining potato/chorizo.  Both ways were so delicious so I thought it was best to give you options.  If you prefer scrambled eggs over fried eggs, give the scrambled egg version a try.

Breakfast Hash with Chorizo and Scrambled EggsOh, and PS…this Breakfast Hash with Chorizo & Eggs is also really good wrapped in a tortilla like a breakfast burrito.  And who says you have to have it for breakfast?  Makes a great dinner too!

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.
For the scrambled egg version:
  1. Mix a couple eggs together in a bowl as you normally would for scrambled eggs. Add to skillet with potatoes and chorizo and cook, stirring, until eggs are cooked. Then garnish as noted above.

      Gosh, I don’t remember but a good guess would be about 4. Sorry I don’t have a better answer for you.

    I went a bit crazy with this. Used shredded hash browns, because that’s what I had. Had sliced peppers in the freezer, as well as chopped onions and a 9oz package of mild beef chorizo. Cooked it all as directed, then tossed in 6 eggs to scramble and a little Adobo seasoning. It was awesome! I ate mine out of a bowl, my dad had burritos and daughter made hers into taquitos. Son’s deciding what he wants to make out of his. Excellent recipe and delicious With my lazy cook hacks only took half hour start to finish. Thanks!!

    Would that be the one pound package of chorizo, or the five pound size?

    So you don’t boil the potatoes first and how long should this take

      I didn’t boil them first but you could if you like. Don’t remember exactly how long to cook them, just until they’re tender, approximately 15-25 minutes depending on the size you cut them into.
