Ingredients

Single serve

  • 1 sm-med white potato , peeled and grated
  • 3 extra large eggs
  • ½ dry aged chorizo link/sausage (or other chorizo if dry aged not available)
  • 2 generous pinches fine sea salt
  • 2 shakes ground white pepper

Larger size (4-6 serves)

  • 3 medium white potatoes , peeled and grated
  • 12 extra large eggs
  • 2 dry aged chorizo links sliced in to thin coins (or other chorizo if dry aged not available)
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper

Instructions

Larger size

  • You will need a 9x9 inch (23 x 23 cm) oven safe dish or large cast iron skillet
  • Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F fan forced.
  • Peel and grate the potatoes
  • Squeeze the liquid from the grated potato very well using a nut milk bag, cheesecloth or a clean Chux kitchen wipe. It will produce a lot of liquid so it helps to strain it in thoroughly twice - squeeze like your life depends on it. Once and then once again after letting them sit another 5 minutes.
  • Gently whisk the eggs with the salt and pepper. Add in the strained potato and sliced chorizo - reserve some chorizo for the top.
  • Grease a 9x9 inch (23 x 23 cm) oven-safe dish or large cast iron skillet with butter or coconut oil, then pour the mixture in. Layer some chorizo on top.
  • Cook for 22-25 minutes then finish off with 5-10 minutes under the broiler/grill at moderate heat to cook the middle area of the top - keep an eye on it to avoid burning the top. It will be done when there are no wet spots left and the top is nice and puffy.

Single serve

  • You will need a small cast iron pan or small oven-safe dish
  • Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F fan forced.
  • Peel and grate the potatoes
  • Squeeze the liquid from the grated potato very well using a nut milk bag, cheesecloth or a clean Chux kitchen wipe. It will produce a lot of liquid so it helps to strain it in thoroughly twice - squeeze like your life depends on it. Once and then once again after letting them sit another 5 minutes.
  • Gently whisk the eggs with the salt and pepper. Add in the strained potato and sliced chorizo - reserve some chorizo for the top.
  • Grease a small cast iron pan or oven safe dish with butter or coconut oil, then pour the mixture in. Layer some chorizo on top
  • Cook at 180C/350F fan forced for 10-15 minutes until you can see it's mostly cooked, then cook the top with 5-10 minutes under the broiler/grill at moderate heat to cook the middle area of the top - keep an eye on it to avoid burning the top.
