The Method

1
In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are starting to brown and soften.
2
Add the crumbled chorizo to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
4
Stir in the minced garlic, aji amarillo paste, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
5
While the hash is cooking, fry the eggs in a separate skillet to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
6
Divide the potato and chorizo hash among four plates. Top each serving with a fried egg.
7
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For a spicier hash, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely chopped chili pepper to the skillet along with the other spices.

If you don't have Peruvian potatoes, Yukon Gold or red potatoes can be used as substitutes.

The hash can be prepared ahead of time and reheated. Just fry the eggs fresh when ready to serve.

Serve with a side of crusty bread or tortillas for soaking up the delicious flavors.
