Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

For New Mexican chile sauce
1/2 oz dried New Mexican chiles (2 to 3)
2 garlic cloves, left unpeeled
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 (14- to 15-oz) can stewed tomatoes including juice
3/4 teaspoon salt
For potatoes and chorizo
1 lb large boiling potatoes
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 lb hot or sweet Spanish chorizo (spiced cured pork sausage), finely chopped
For custard
8 large eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Special Equipment
a shallow 2- to 2 1/2-quart ceramic or glass baking dish

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.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less chorizo next time. Otherwise, it was a delicious and satisfying meal.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The chorizo and potato didn't have much flavor and the egg custard was too runny. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The chorizo and potato were cooked perfectly and the egg custard was fluffy. I think next time I'll use a milder chile sauce.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a winner. It's a great way to use up leftover chorizo and potatoes. The egg custard is also a nice touch. I usually serve it with a side of salsa and avocado.
