Treat your ingredients with care...

• Potatoes — Make sure to dice the potatoes into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and crispy texture.
• Chorizo — Opt for a spicy variety of chorizo to add an extra kick of flavor to the dish. If you prefer a milder taste, you can use a sweet or smoked chorizo instead.

• If you prefer your eggs well-done, cook them for an additional minute or two.
• Serve this dish with a side of crusty bread to mop up the delicious runny yolk.
• Feel free to add some sautéed onions or bell peppers for added flavor and texture.
