Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Papitas

    Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Cook the Protein

    In a separate pan, cook your choice of bacon, sausage, or chorizo according to package instructions until fully cooked and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. In the same pan used for the protein or a clean skillet, add a little olive oil or butter and pour in the eggs. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the eggs are scrambled to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Toast the Bread

    While the eggs are cooking, toast the slices of bread in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    On a plate, serve the scrambled eggs alongside the cooked protein, crispy papitas, and toasted bread. Enjoy your El Gringo!
