Sometimes it feels like breakfast needs a little change up and these Chorizo breakfast potatoes are a simple and tasty way to change it up. Chorizo is a flavorful way to spice up dishes. 

Chorizo Potatoes

Hello Friends! Today I wanted to share a delicious side dish that has been a staple in our family forever. These chorizo and potatoes are a wonderful way to change up breakfast. My mother used to make these a lot when I was a kid. 

. Chorizo Potatoes

This Chorizo and Potato recipe is one we make often and usually on the weekends. It is perfect as a side dish or with a fried egg on top. It also makes a great skillet breakfast base. It is made with just a few ingredients too!

Chorizo Potatoes Recipe

List of main ingredients:

Potatoes – I love the taste and consistency I get with Russet Potatoes. These are always the type of potatoe I choose.My second choice would be Yukon Gold.  

Chorizo  - For this recipe, you want to use Mexican Chorizo, not Spanish Chorizo. There is a big difference in that Mexican chorizo is softer and ground and uncooked - kind of like the consistency of ground beef. Spanish chorizo is a cured meat and is more like salami and while it is good for many dishes, I do not use it for this recipe. Note that there are two major types of Mexican Chorizo - beef and pork. I  use beef chorizo, although you can use pork as well.

    Oh my holy heaven! This is scrumptious! I've never met a potato that I didn't immediately love, but the spicy kick from the Mexican chorizo takes these over the top. So delicious!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
