Enjoy a classic of Spanish cuisine with these fried eggs with chorizo on a potato bed. A delicious combination that stands out for its intense flavours and simplicity. Perfect for a home-cooked meal that will win over the whole family.
Ingredients (for 4 people):
- 4 fresh eggs (can be 8, 2 per person if desired)
- 4 potatoes
- 150 g chorizo in slices or small pieces
- 50 ml of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- Water for cooking the potatoes
Elaboration:
- Peel the potatoes, cut them into medium-sized pieces and boil them in a pan with water and salt for 20 minutes or until tender.
- Drain the potatoes and mash them with a fork or potato masher. Add a drizzle of olive oil and blend until smooth. Set aside.
- In a frying pan, heat a little olive oil and fry the chorizo pieces over medium heat until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- In the same frying pan, add more oil and carefully fry the eggs one by one, making sure that the yolk remains runny.
- To assemble the dish, place a generous base of mashed potato on each plate. Place the fried eggs and pieces of chorizo on top of the mashed potato.
- Finish with a drizzle of oil left over from frying the chorizo to enhance the flavour.
Additional advice:
- If you want a spicy touch, use spicy chorizo or add a pinch of paprika to the potatoes.
- You can replace the mashed potato with fried potatoes cut into sticks if you are looking for a crunchier texture.
