Description

This papas con chorizo recipe is for a breakfast made with tender diced potatoes, chorizo sausage, and serrano pepper that's popular throughout Mexico.

Ingredients

1 (9 ounce) package Mexican chorizo sausage, casings removed
1 1/2 tablespoons bacon drippings
2 cups diced potatoes
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 serrano pepper, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Directions

1 Cook chorizo in a large skillet over medium-high heat until turns dark red, 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer chorizo to a bowl; set aside.
2 Melt bacon grease in the same skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add potatoes; cook and stir for 10 minutes. Add onion and serrano; cook and stir until potatoes are fork-tender, onion is translucent, and serrano is soft, 2 to 6 minutes more. Return chorizo to the skillet; stir until heated through. Season with salt and black pepper.
