Prep Time: 40min | Cook Time: 10min

  1. Fry frozen sliced potatoes in 350F oil for 4-5 minutes or until very crispy. Hold uncovered for no more than 2 days to retain crispness. Fry in batches, if necessary, to avoid soggy potatoes.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the salsa until bubbly then toss in the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes or until all salsa has warmed through and the chips are fully coated.
  3. Cook eggs via preferred method (scramble or over-easy) and season with salt.
  4. Build plate by layering as follows:
    2 cups Potatoes in salsa
    1/4 cup cotija cheese
    2 eggs over easy or 1 cup scrambled eggs
    Garnish cilantro, 3 slices avocado, Mexican crema, and Potato Chorizo

Green Chile
Method of Preparation and Final Build

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
  2. Remove husks from tomatillos and rinse well under cold running water. Cut in half and place on a lined sheet tray. Do the same for the white onion and garlic cloves. Roast the vegetables until blistered for 20-25 minutes.
  3. Add roasted vegetables and remaining ingredients to a high-powered blender or food processor and pulse until chunky but not smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Hold cold for no more than 5 days.

Red Chile

  1. Toast chilis on a flat top or skillet until fragrant and slightly toasted but not burnt. Place in a heat-proof container and cover with hot water. Soak for 20minutes.
  2. Peel and cut onions in half. Roast with the garlic cloves on a lined sheet tray ina 350°F oven until blistered. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  3. Place all ingredients in a high-powered blender or food processor and process until smooth.
  4. Hold cold for up to 5 days.

Potato Chorizo

  1. In a 350°F oven, bake frozen tater tots until crispy, approximately 25 minutes. Avoid over-crowding sheet pan to prevent soggy tots. Once cooled, shred tots by hand and reserve.
  2. Add Chile Arbol, cloves, and oregano to spice grinder and process until fine. Combine with the remaining spices, salt, and pepper. Reserve.
  3. To make chorizo, toss a generous amount of the spice blend with the shredded tater tots and a drizzle of canola oil. Massage the spices well into the crumbly potato.
  4. Return the “potato chorizo” to a sheet tray and bake one more time until crispy for about 10-12 minutes.
  5. Add more seasoning to the chorizo as needed.
