I substituted bob evans spicy sausage for the churizo and more cheese.The whole family inhaled every bit of it and wanted more.A definate addition to my cookbook.

This was excellent! The recipe called for chopped chorizos & we are fortunate to have Basque chorizos available. The only changes we would make next time is that for every potato used, use another chorizo & another egg. (ex: 3+3+3) Salt potatoes to taste as cooking. Thanks for the great recipe. We will pass it along to the rest of our family.

Delicious! We did not use bell pepper or cheese, and used egg substitute (and almost double), along with Mexican chorizo. So yummy!

We also used Bob Evans hot sausage instead of Chorizo. Honestly, this is one of the best things I've ever tasted. Everyone should give this one a try!

Excellent... even my husband who doesn't like Mexican liked it... I put in Ham instead of the sausage because there was none here and used red pepper instead of green. I did use my Food processer which is more like a Salad Shooter to do the potatoes, pepper, onions, and cheese... which made it go together fast. Thanks!
