Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium flame and coat the bottom with oil, allowing it to shimmer with potential warmth.
- Gently cascade diced potatoes into the pan, creating an even layer that will transform into golden, crispy morsels.
- Allow potatoes to sizzle and dance in the oil, occasionally rotating them to ensure uniform caramelization and prevent burning.
- Season the potatoes with a delicate sprinkle of salt and pepper, infusing them with robust flavor and aromatic complexity.
- Cook for approximately 8-10 minutes until the exterior achieves a crunchy, amber-hued perfection while maintaining a tender interior.
- Remove the potatoes from the heat and transfer to a waiting plate, keeping them warm and ready for burrito assembly.
- Wipe the skillet clean, preparing it for the next culinary choreography of chorizo and eggs.
Notes
- Swap regular potatoes for sweet potatoes to boost nutritional value and add a delightful caramelized flavor to your breakfast burrito.
- Use pre-cooked or leftover potatoes to reduce overall cooking time and create a quick morning meal.
- Choose a low-sodium tortilla if watching salt intake, ensuring the burrito remains light and healthy without compromising taste.
- Experiment with different spice blends like smoked paprika or chili powder to elevate the potato’s crispy texture and add depth to the breakfast dish.
