Squeezing the excess liquid from the potato will ensure it gets extra crunchy when cooked.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    2 servings

Ingredients

1 large spring onion, tops removed, bulb thinly sliced, or 1 small shallot, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
4 ounces fresh chorizo, casings removed
1 small yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 small russet potato
Warm corn tortillas, watercress, crumbled cotija cheese, and lime wedges (for serving)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Give spring onion, vinegar, and a pinch of salt a good toss in a small bowl. Let sit while you prepare the hash; this will be just enough time to lightly pickle the onion.

    Step 2

    Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium skillet over medium. Cook chorizo, breaking up with a wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, until brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer chorizo to a plate with a slotted spoon.

    Step 3

    Add yellow onion and garlic to fat in skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6–8 minutes.

    Step 4

    Meanwhile, grate potato on the coarse holes of a box grater; squeeze firmly over sink to remove excess water.

    Step 5

    Add potato, chorizo, and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to skillet. Cook, turning hash occasionally and breaking up with a spoon, until potato is golden brown, cooked through, and crunchy around the edges, 8–10 minutes.

    Step 6

    Assemble tacos with hash, fried eggs, tortillas, watercress, drained pickled spring onions, and cotija. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
