Ingredients
500g baby new potatoes
2 onions, sliced
2 red peppers, deseeded and cut into strips
200g cooking chorizo, sliced
4 eggs
2 tbsp olive oil
Directions
Place the baby new potatoes in a steamer basket and steam over boiling water for 15–20 minutes until tender and cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly, then cut each potato in half.
While the potatoes steam, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and red pepper strips, cooking for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and beginning to caramelize.
Push the cooked vegetables to the side of the pan. Add the sliced chorizo to the empty space and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is heated through and releases its oils. Transfer the entire mixture to a plate and set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add the halved potatoes and fry for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and beginning to crisp at the edges. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Return the chorizo and vegetable mixture to the pan with the potatoes, stirring gently to combine and heat everything through for 1–2 minutes.
In the same pan (or a separate non-stick pan if preferred), fry the eggs to your liking—sunny-side up or with cooked whites, ensuring the whites reach a minimum internal temperature of 160°F if you prefer fully cooked yolks.
Divide the potato and vegetable mixture among four plates. Top each serving with one fried egg. Serve immediately while hot.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at any Charlotte supermarket—potatoes, onions, red peppers, eggs, and olive oil are standard at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and ALDI, and chorizo is widely stocked in the meat section at all major chains. At roughly $12–15 total for four servings ($3–3.75 per serving), the cost is reasonable and driven primarily by the chorizo; using a less expensive variety brings it down further. The stated 40 minutes is honest, though a beginner should budget an extra 10 minutes for potato dicing and cooking; experienced cooks will hit it. This is a straightforward skillet dish that requires minimal attention once the potatoes go in, making it forgiving for a weeknight family meal, though it's best eaten fresh—the potatoes soften and the eggs firm up on reheating, losing appeal.
