Ingredients
- 8 oz, casing removed chorizo sausage
- 2 medium, diced into 1/2-inch cubes russet potatoes
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 1 small, finely chopped jalapeño
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp, chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (about 375°F). Add 2 tbsp olive oil and spread evenly across the surface.
- Step 2: Add 2 diced russet potatoes (1/2-inch cubes) to the griddle, season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden and tender.
- Step 3: Push the potatoes to one side, add 8 oz chorizo sausage (casing removed) and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula for 5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Step 4: Add 1 diced red bell pepper, 1 diced yellow onion, and 1 finely chopped jalapeño to the griddle. Sauté with the chorizo and potatoes for 4-5 minutes until vegetables soften and edges start to caramelize.
- Step 5: Sprinkle 1 tsp smoked paprika over the mixture and stir to combine. Create 4 wells in the hash and crack 4 large eggs into each well.
- Step 6: Cover the griddle with a lid or tent with foil and cook for 3-4 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks remain runny.
- Step 7: Remove from heat, sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro over the top, and serve immediately.
