Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 medium red potatoes, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup semicured Spanish chorizo, casing removed (about 6 ounces)
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
