Dairy-Free Breakfast Scramble Recipe with Eggs, Chorizo and Potatoes!
Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:30 minutes
Total Time:43 minutes

Equipment

  • knife
  • Chopping board
  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Measuring spoon
  • Medium bowl
  • fork

Ingredients

  • 9 oz raw ground pork or beef chorizo
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 5 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp 3 tbsp olive oil or dairy-free butter
  • 1-2 tbsp optional fresh chopped parsley, to garnish

Instructions

  • Wash the russet potatoes well and dice them into roughly 1/2-inch cubes. Leave the skins on if preferred.
  • Heat the olive oil or dairy-free butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring often, until golden brown and cooked through.
    This usually takes around 18–22 minutes depending on the size of the potato cubes.
  • Once the potatoes are crispy on the outside and soft inside, add the raw chorizo directly into the skillet.
  • Break apart the chorizo with a spatula and cook over medium heat, stirring every few minutes, until fully cooked through.
    Usually takes around 8–10 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat lightly with a fork.
  • Pour the eggs into the skillet with the cooked potatoes and chorizo.
  • Cook gently, stirring often, until the eggs are softly scrambled and fully cooked.
  • Serve immediately while hot with an optional fresh chopped parsley garnish, toast, orange juice, salsa, or your favorite breakfast sides.

Notes

  • Russet potatoes work best because they crisp nicely while staying fluffy inside.
  • Pork or beef chorizo both work well in this recipe.
  • Cooking the potatoes slowly gives the best texture and flavor.
  • Soft scrambled eggs help keep the skillet from feeling dry.

 

Storage

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
  • This recipe is best served fresh and does not freeze well.
