Once potatoes are cooked, 5-10 minutes, remove from pan and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except for the additional 2 tablespoons oil. Add the potatoes and stir to combine.
- Wipe out the pan and heat a the pan over medium heat. Add the fat and allow to coat the entire pan. Add the potato mixture and cook stirring gently until it begins to set. At this point, turn the heat up to medium-high and allow the bottom to brown. Cover with a lid for a few minutes to set the top and remove from heat.
- Turn out onto a plate and serve with sour cream or thick yogurt and green onions for garnish. .

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Steps:
- Heat the chile pepper and garlic in a dry 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until the chile is pliable and the garlic is browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly; remove the stem from the chile and peel the garlic. Transfer the chile and garlic to a blender (reserve the skillet). Add the tomato sauce, chicken broth and cumin; puree until almost smooth.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the reserved skillet over medium heat. Slowly add the tomato mixture (it will splatter) and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and darkened, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook, without flipping, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Gently stir the tortilla chips into the tomato sauce in two batches until coated. Remove from the heat and top with the eggs, radishes, red onion, cilantro and/or Cotija cheese.
