HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove chorizo from the skillet with a slotted spoon, leaving about 1 tablespoon of rendered fat in the pan.

02

Add diced sweet potato to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly caramelized.

03

Stir in the diced red onion, ground cumin, and aji amarillo paste (if using). Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onion softens.

04

Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet with the sweet potato mixture. Stir to combine and heat through for 1-2 minutes.

05

Make two small wells in the hash mixture. Crack one egg into each well. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.

06

Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness.

07

Serve immediately, directly from the skillet or divided onto plates.

Chef's Tips

For crispier sweet potatoes, avoid overcrowding the pan and cook them in a single layer initially. A cast-iron skillet works wonderfully for this hash, providing even heat and a nice sear.
↔

Easy Substitutions

If you can't find fresh chorizo, use a spicy Italian sausage. For a vegetarian option, omit the chorizo and add a can of drained black beans or chickpeas along with smoked paprika for flavor. Aji amarillo paste can be substituted with a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat, though the flavor profile will differ.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover hash can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium-low heat until warmed through, adding a splash of water if it seems dry.
