How to Make Mexican Hashbrown's

Preheat your oven's broiler.
In a large, heavy skillet (cast iron is ideal), heat 1/4 cup of oil over medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups shredded potatoes, 1/2 cup shredded onions, 1/4 cup chopped jalapeños, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the potato mixture to the skillet. Press down firmly to create an even layer.
Cook for 4-5 minutes, then gently lift an edge to check for a golden-brown crust. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, adding more oil if needed.
Transfer the hashbrowns to a baking sheet or wire rack.
Top the hashbrowns with scrambled eggs (2 eggs per serving), fried chorizo (1/4 cup per serving), 1/2 cup shredded cheese, sliced tomatoes, sliced olives, chopped onions, and the remaining cheese.
Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
Serve immediately with sour cream and salsa.
