Preparation Steps

  • Place the potatoes in the baking dish. Top with chorizo, green chiles and 1 cup of the cheese.
  • In a medium bowl, beat eggs, scallions and seasoning salt with a whisk until well blended. Pour over potato mixture.
  • Cover with lid and refrigerate overnight, if preparing the night before.
  • When ready to bake, remove from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 325°F.
  • Bake uncovered 55 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

  • Bake 2 more minutes, until the cheese melts. To serve, cut into 10 squares and serve with salsa and avocado.

Notes

This recipe is excellent for meal prepping. Reheating the next day works well, although topping with salsa before reheating can help with moisture.
