Chorizo and Baked Eggs with Boiled Potatoes (Student Potatoes Reimagined)

A delicious twist on classic student potatoes—boiled potatoes mixed with baked eggs and spicy chorizo, seasoned with smoky paprika and herbs for a comforting, flavorful meal.

⏰ Prep & Cook Time: 35 minutes

🍽️ Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 6 small potatoes
  • 2 eggs
  • 70 g spicy chorizo sausages (or spicy Hungarian sausages)
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme (or oregano)
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (or sweet paprika)
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel (optional) and cut potatoes into cubes. Boil in salted water until tender but still firm enough not to break apart when pierced with a fork. Drain well.
  2. Slice chorizo into half rounds. Place in a dry skillet over low heat and cook just until it releases fat (do not crisp). Remove chorizo and set aside on a plate.
  3. In the same skillet with the rendered fat, add oil, crushed thyme, and paprika. Stir to combine. Add the drained potatoes, remove skillet from heat, and gently toss to coat potatoes evenly. Season with salt and black pepper. Add back the chorizo slices and mix gently.
  4. Divide the potato and chorizo mixture evenly into two ovenproof bowls or ramekins.
  5. Crack one egg into the center of each bowl and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Bake at 200°C (390°F) for about 15 minutes, just until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain soft and runny.
  7. Serve immediately. Break the yolk with a fork and mix with the potatoes for a creamy, spicy bite.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

Serve this hearty dish with a crisp green salad or toasted rustic bread to soak up the flavorful yolk and chorizo oil.

📝 Final Thoughts

This simplified student potato reinterpretation delivers all the comfort and flavor without deep frying. The baked eggs provide a luscious sauce while the smoky chorizo adds depth and spice. Perfect for a cozy brunch or a quick weeknight dinner.
