Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
• 8 ounces chorizo sausage, casings removed and crumbled
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
• Optional: hot sauce for serving

How to Make Loaded Fries with Poached Egg and Chorizo

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Spread the cut fries on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
3. Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
4. While the fries are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled chorizo and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
5. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer if you prefer firmer yolks. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs and place them on a paper towel to drain.
6. Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
7. To assemble, place the loaded fries on a serving platter. Top with the cooked chorizo, followed by the poached eggs. Garnish with fresh parsley and cilantro. Serve immediately, with hot sauce if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra crispy fries, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps remove excess starch.
• Use a deep frying method if you want a more traditional French fry texture, but baking is healthier and easier.
• Make sure the water for poaching the eggs is just simmering, not boiling, to achieve a perfect poach.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the chorizo for crumbled bacon or sausage for a different flavor profile.
• Add toppings like sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, or avocado for extra freshness.
• Try different cheeses like pepper jack or Gouda for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• A refreshing green salad dressed with vinaigrette.
• A zesty coleslaw to balance the richness of the fries.
• Nachos or quesadillas for a full game day spread.
