Chorizo Breakfast Hash with Bacon and Smashed Potato Recipe

Chorizo Breakfast Hash – my means. With smashed child potatoes which are crispy on the skin and fluffy on the within, bacon, chorizo and egg. Oh, and a handful of cherry tomatoes. Token veggies. A critical brekki, on the desk in simply over quarter-hour.

I like chorizos for breakfast, like in Chorizo Baked Beans on Toast and Mexican Breakfast Tacos (Chorizo and Egg). The massive flavour punch is a get up name!

“Smashed potatoes are like mini hash browns. However with out all the trouble of shredding. Crispy on the skin, and fluffy on the within.”

I invited my mom over for brunch at this time. That’s not as candy because it sounds. I left a couple of issues at her place that I wanted. So I invited her spherical for brunch. Then (in separate emails / texts) requested her to deliver a couple of issues. A fry pan I left there. Salad servers I wished to borrow undertake. Contemporary herbs from her backyard. Some Asian groceries (my closest Asian retailer is soooo distant!).

She’s not precisely distant – about 30km/20 miles. However nonetheless. After sending the fifth textual content for issues to deliver, I felt a wee bit responsible and thought I higher make one thing additional scrumptious.

I had a chorizo left over within the fridge and determined to make one thing with that. Something with chorizo is a certain hearth hit. All that free flavour (and spicy oil) packed into one harmless trying sausage.

So I made a decision to throw collectively a breakfast hash, my means. I solely had a handful of child potatoes (new potatoes, I imagine they’re known as within the US) as an alternative of enormous ones that I may dice and fry up good and crispy. So as an alternative of the normal hash, I made a decision to make crispy smashed potatoes. Have you ever ever tried it? It’s excellent. You actually microwave or boil child potatoes till gentle, then pop them within the fry pan and “smash” them down with an egg flip or potato masher. Fry them till crispy and golden on each side, and you find yourself with little potato bites which are fluffy on the within and crispy on the skin. Like mini hash browns.

Yum.

Tossed along with bacon, chorizo and a few cherry tomatoes (token gesture for including veggies), and topped with completely cooked eggs with runny, runny yolks….

Talking of runny yolks, I preserve studying breakfast hash recipes the place the eggs are baked, poached or individually fried. Why, oh why? I don’t get it. For so long as I can keep in mind, the way in which I’ve cooked eggs sunny facet up is to crack them straight on prime, add a drizzle of water, wack on a lid and allow them to steam prepare dinner for a few minutes.

Completely runny yolks, each single time. As a result of threat of overcooking is a lot decrease than baking. And it’s so a lot simpler than poaching.

Thanks mum, for being my supply donkey. I hope you loved breakfast. 🙂
