How to Make Spanish Fried Eggs With Potatoes And Chorizo Huevos Fritos Con

  1. Peel and thinly slice the potatoes (about 1/4 inch thick).
  2. Heat 1/2 cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, onions, and parsley. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender (about 15-20 minutes).
  3. Remove the potatoes, onions, and parsley from the skillet and set aside on a serving platter.
  4. Add the thinly sliced piquillo peppers to the skillet and fry until lightly softened (about 2-3 minutes). Place them on top of the potatoes on the platter.
  5. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil to the skillet if necessary.
  6. When the oil is hot but not smoking, gently crack each egg into a separate bowl and carefully slide them into the skillet.
  7. Spoon a little hot oil over the top of each egg white as it cooks to help crisp it up.
  8. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny (about 3-4 minutes).
  9. Remove each cooked egg and place it around the potatoes on the platter.
  10. In a separate skillet, fry the chorizo slices until lightly browned (about 2-3 minutes).
  11. Add the chorizo to the platter with the eggs and potatoes.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy! This dish will serve 2-4 people, depending on appetites.
