Papas con Chile Verde, Huevos y Tortillas

- 2 tbsp oil or lard
- ½ small onion, diced (optional but traditional)
- 1–1½ cups roasted green chile (Hatch preferred)
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- 4 eggs
- Warm flour tortillas (most traditional) or corn
Instructions
1. Cook the papas
- Heat oil or lard in a skillet over medium heat

- Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender (12–15 min)
2. Add chile

- Stir in green chile
- Cook 5 minutes until everything is well combined and slightly crispy in spots
- Taste and adjust salt
3. Fry the eggs

How to Serve (The Right Way)
- Spoon papas with green chile onto a plate
- Top with fried eggs
- Break yolks over the potatoes 🌟
- Scoop everything up with warm tortillas
Optional additions:
- Pinto beans on the side
- A little queso fresco or cotija
- Extra green chile at the table (always)
Why This Dish Works
- Potatoes soak up the chile flavor
- Runny yolk = built-in sauce
- Tortillas make it a complete meal
Breakfast, lunch, or dinner—doesn’t matter.
