Share:
Ingredients
- 8 (220g / 7oz) baby potatoes , skin on
- 2 rashers of bacon , or 3 strips of streaky bacon, cut into large dice
- 3 oz / 100g chorizo (about 1/2 chorizo), sliced 1/2cm / 1/5" thick
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes , halved
- 3 or 4 eggs
- 2 tbsp water
- salt and pepper
- avocado slices (optional)
- 1/2 tbsp fresh parsley , finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Crusty bread to serve
Instructions
- Steam, boil or microwave the potatoes until soft. (Note 1)
- Cut the potatoes in half.
- Heat a skillet or fry pan over high heat.
- Add the bacon (add a dash of olive oil if you have lean bacon) and fry until browned but not crisp.
- Remove onto a plate with a slotted egg flip. (Note 2)
- Add the chorizo into the same fry pan and cook each side until browned, around 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove on the plate with the bacon. (Note 2)
- Place the potatoes, cut side down, into the fry pan. Use the egg flip or a potato masher to "smash" the potatoes down so they flatten onto the fry pan. Sprinkle with salt.
- Cook the first side until golden brown - around 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Then turn and cook the other side until just golden brown, pressing down with the egg flip - around 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Sprinkle with salt.
- Add the bacon, chorizo and cherry tomatoes into the fry pan. Toss gently.
- Crack the eggs into the pan. Drizzle the water down the side of the pan, then put a lid on the fry pan (Note 3). The eggs will "steam cook".
- Cook until the eggs are cooked to your liking. For "just set" egg white with runny yolks, it is usually around 1 1/2 minutes.
- Remove from the stove, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with sprinkle of parsley and avocado (if using).
- Serve with crusty bread or toast.
Notes
- I cooked my potatoes in the microwave. Prick each with a fork 4 or 5 times, place around the edges of the rotating plate, then microwave for 2 minutes on high, turn, then microwave for another 2 minutes on high. One of the potatoes "exploded". That's ok! It was still usable.
- Use a slotted egg flip or spoon to remove the bacon and chorizo from the fry pan as you want the oil left in the pan for the potatoes.
- I don't have lids that fit properly for any of my fry pans! I just use a lid for a pot that is larger than the fry pan I am using. You can even use a baking tray.
