Ingredients 350g leftover boiled potatoes, chopped into bite-sized pieces, or uncooked and cooked at the start 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for frying the eggs (if necessary) 1 red onion, sliced 125g chorizo, chopped 2 thyme sprigs 1 tsp smoked paprika 1 × 227g tin chopped tomatoes 2 – 4 eggs Salt and freshly ground black pepper To serve 1 1/2 tbsp pumpkin seeds (pepitas) 2 tsp nigella seeds (optional) Thick slices of sourdough toast (optional) 1. If you’re not using left-over boiled potatoes, chop the uncooked potatoes into bite-sized pieces and boil in salt water for 15 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside to dry out a little. 2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan (skillet) over a medium heat. Add the onion and fry for 8–10 minutes or until beginning to brown and caramelise a little. 3. Tip in the potatoes, drizzle in another 1 tablespoon of oil and cook for 5 minutes to brown. Stir often to make sure the onion doesn’t burn. 4. Stir in the chorizo, thyme sprigs and paprika and fry for 4–5 minutes to release the oils and colour the potatoes. 5. Pour in the tinned tomatoes, season really well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and cook for 5 minutes to thicken. 6. Poach or fry the eggs to your preference. Serve the eggs on top of or alongside the hash, removing the thyme just before plating up. Scatter over the pumpkin seeds and nigella seeds, if using, and serve with toasted sourdough, if you like.
