Steps:
- For the Texas Chicken Hash: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

- In a large pot over low heat, add the potatoes, bell pepper mixture and the chopped chicken. Season with Tony Chachere's seasoning, to taste. Stir the potato mixture until heated through.

Steps:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and use a spoon to break it up and cook it until it is cooked through (approximately 8-10 minutes).
- In another skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Form hash browns into 6 small, flat rounds and place in hot pan. Cook hash brown cakes until golden and crispy (about 5-6 minutes), flip, and repeat on the other side.
- While hash brown cakes are cooking, prep fresh ingredients by slicing onion into 1/8 inch rounds and slicing avocado into 1/8 inch thick strips.
- Place hash brown cakes onto serving platter, spoon a generous portion of chorizo over the cakes, top with a few onion rounds and 3-4 strips of avocado. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- To ensure perfectly crispy hash cakes, use leftover mashed potatoes that have been refrigerated overnight. This allows the potatoes to firm up and hold their shape better when cooked.
- For a crispy crust and tender interior, cook the hash cakes over medium heat until golden brown on both sides. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this can prevent even cooking.
- Feel free to customize the hash cakes with your favorite mix-ins. Some popular options include diced bell peppers, onions, bacon, sausage, and cheese.
- Serve the hash cakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Some classic options include sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and fried eggs.
Conclusion:
Texas hash cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to suit your taste. Whether you like them classic or loaded with mix-ins, Texas hash cakes are sure to be a hit. So next time you have leftover mashed potatoes, don't hesitate to give this recipe a try!
