How to Make Papas And Chorizo Frittata

  1. Preheat oven to broil.
  2. In a zip-top bag, thoroughly mash 1.5 lbs frozen tater tots.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 8 oz chorizo sausage, crumbled, and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chorizo is browned and onions are softened.
  5. Add the mashed tater tots, 2 cloves garlic, minced, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Cook until potatoes are heated through and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk or cream, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the potato and chorizo mixture in the skillet.
  8. Gently stir the chorizo/potato mixture into the eggs as they begin to set around the edges.
  9. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are almost completely set but still slightly moist on top.
  10. Using a spatula, carefully loosen the edges of the frittata to prevent sticking.
  11. Place the skillet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and set.
  12. Remove from oven and let stand for 2-3 minutes.
  13. Carefully invert the frittata onto a serving platter.
  14. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) over the top.
  15. Lightly cover with foil and let rest for a couple of minutes.
  16. Remove foil and garnish with sliced avocado, salsa, sliced scallions, and fresh cilantro sprigs. Serve immediately and enjoy!
