Ingredients

1½ lb baby potatoes, quartered
6 oz cured Spanish chorizo, sliced
1 onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, in thin strips
3 garlic cloves, minced
6 large eggs
2 green onions, sliced

From your pantry: 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp sherry vinegar, ½ tsp smoked paprika, salt, pepper.

Instructions

Microwave the potatoes in a covered bowl until tender, about 10 minutes, stirring halfway. Gently crush them with a masher so they flatten but stay chunky.
Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Spread the potatoes out and cook without stirring until crisp underneath, about 5 minutes; stir, spread out and crisp again for 5 minutes.
Add the chorizo, onion and pepper and cook, stirring, until the onion softens and the chorizo releases its red oil, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, paprika and vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
Make 6 wells in the potatoes and crack an egg into each. Season the eggs, cover and cook over medium until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 4 to 6 minutes.
Scatter with green onions, then cut into the yolks at the table so they run over the potatoes.

Tip: Use cured Spanish chorizo (the firm, sliceable kind), not raw Mexican chorizo. In Spain this is often made with jamón serrano instead, which you can lay on top at the end.
