Salsa Verde

Chorizo Verde

Garnish

Method

Preparing Hash Browns

  1. 1

    Grate Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor.

  2. 2

    Squeeze Moisture

    Transfer the grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. This step is crucial for crispy hash browns.

  3. 3

    Cook Hash Browns

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the grated potatoes and spread them in an even layer. Season with salt. Cook for 5-7 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.

Poaching Eggs

  1. 4

    Prepare Water

    In a saucepan, fill with water about 3 inches deep. Add vinegar and bring to a gentle simmer.

  2. 5

    Poach Eggs

    Crack each egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water and carefully slide each egg into the center. Poach for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer if desired. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Making Salsa Verde

  1. 6

    Cook Tomatillos

    Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add tomatillos and cook for 5-7 minutes until soft. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 7

    Blend Salsa Verde

    In a blender, combine cooked tomatillos, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

Cooking Chorizo Verde

  1. 8

    Cook Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add ground chorizo and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in fresh cilantro and cook for an additional minute.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 9

    Plate the Hash Browns

    On a plate, place a generous serving of crispy hash browns as the base.

  2. 10

    Add Poached Eggs

    Top the hash browns with two poached eggs.

  3. 11

    Drizzle Salsa Verde

    Generously drizzle salsa verde over the eggs.

  4. 12

    Add Chorizo Verde

    Spoon the chorizo verde around the eggs and on top of the hash browns.

  5. 13

    Garnish

    Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco and fresh cilantro on top for garnish.
