It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In this article, we provide two recipes for chorizo and potato egg custard: a classic Spanish recipe and a New Mexican-style recipe that uses a red chile sauce. Both recipes are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. We also provide a recipe for a simple green salad that can be served with the egg custard.
**Classic Spanish Chorizo and Potato Egg Custard**
This recipe is a classic Spanish dish that is made with simple, everyday ingredients. The chorizo and potatoes are cooked together in a skillet until they are browned and crispy. The eggs are then beaten and poured over the chorizo and potatoes. The custard is baked in the oven until it is set and golden brown.

Steps:
- For the sauce: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the jalapeno, onion and a pinch of salt and cook until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, crushed red pepper and black pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the sugar, chiles and stock and remove from the heat. Blend in a food processor or blender until smooth. Return it to the pan and simmer for 20 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
- For the filling: Spread the tots out on a sheet pan, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside, then reduce the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until fully cooked. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a large bowl. Reserve a thin coating of fat in the skillet and discard any excess. Add the onion and a pinch of salt to the skillet and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the eggs and scramble, cooking until just set. (Err on the side of them being underdone, since they'll continue to cook in the oven.) Transfer to the bowl with the chorizo and fold to combine. Season to taste (you may decide not to add any salt, since the chorizo has salt).
- Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Arrange the tortillas on a work surface. Spoon a heaping 1/3 cup of the egg mixture onto each tortilla. Top with a handful of the cheese and 6 potato tots. Roll up the tortillas and arrange them seam-side down in the baking dish. Top evenly with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is browned, about 40 minutes.
- Top with dollops of sour cream, jalapenos, radishes and fresh cilantro and serve.
PAPAS CON CHORIZO (MEXICAN CHORIZO AND POTATOES)
The bold, delicious flavors of this traditional Mexican dish are sure to become your new favorite breakfast. Top with a fried or poached egg, or serve inside corn tortillas. I like to top mine with Cotija cheese, cilantro, and hot sauce, with a side of avocado. Home- or store-made chorizo is best, however, feel free to use your favorite brand.

- Cook onion in the same skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add potatoes to the skillet and saute until potatoes are lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in chorizo and season with salt and pepper.

CHORIZO AND POTATO EGG CUSTARD WITH NEW MEXICAN CHILE SAUCE
Steps:
- Make sauce:
- Heat a dry heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over moderate heat until hot, then toast chiles, pressing down with tongs and turning occasionally, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl. Toast garlic in skillet, turning occasionally, until softened and slightly charred, about 5 minutes, then transfer to bowl. Toast cumin in skillet, stirring, until fragrant and a few shades darker, about 30 seconds, then transfer to a blender along with tomatoes and salt. Discard stems and seeds from chiles and add to blender. Peel garlic and add to blender. Purée until smooth.
- Prepare potatoes and chorizo:
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Peel potatoes and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Cook potatoes in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender but not falling apart, about 8 minutes, then drain in a colander. Arrange slices, overlapping, in oiled baking dish.
- Cook onion in oil in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add chorizo and cook, stirring, until chorizo is heated through, about 5 minutes. Spoon mixture evenly over potatoes and top with 1 cup sauce, spreading evenly.
- Prepare custard and bake:
- Whisk together eggs, cream, salt, and pepper until combined well and slowly pour into dish. Bake in middle of oven until custard is just set in center, 35 to 45 minutes.
- Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before cutting. Serve remaining chile sauce on the side.
Tips:
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender but not mushy. This will help them hold their shape in the custard. - Use a good quality chorizo. The flavor of the chorizo will come through in the custard, so it is important to use a chorizo that you enjoy. - If you don't have New Mexican chile sauce, you can use another type of chile sauce. Just be sure to adjust the amount of sauce to taste. - If you are using a nonstick skillet, you may not need to grease it. However, if you are using a regular skillet, be sure to grease it well to prevent the custard from sticking. - Bake the custard until it is set and the top is golden brown. This will take about 30 minutes. - Let the custard cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to firm up. - Serve the custard with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt and some chopped cilantro.Conclusion:
Chorizo and potato egg custard with New Mexican chile sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chorizo and potatoes. The custard is creamy and flavorful, and the chile sauce adds a nice bit of heat. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
