Huevos Estrellados Ingredients

Method

Huevos Estrellados Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Rinse the cubes under cold water to remove excess starch, then drain well.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the potato cubes and sprinkle with salt. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chorizo

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the chorizo sausage, casings removed and crumbled, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned and slightly crispy.

  4. 4

    Fry the Eggs

    In a separate non-stick frying pan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan one at a time. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Season with salt and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a large plate, layer the crispy potatoes and top with the cooked chorizo. Gently place the fried eggs on top of the chorizo and potatoes. Serve immediately with additional salt and pepper to taste.
