Crunchy Brunchy Chorizo Tatties

print recipe

I’m a millennial so naturally I love brunch. Clearly that’s also why I can’t afford a house hehe. But this recipe doesn’t include avocado so maybe, just maybe I’ll be ok.

Serve these crunchy brunchy chorizo tatties up as they are or chuck on a fried or poached egg for that professional cheffy look – don’t forget the sprinkle of herbs. Orrrr if you already own a house, whack on that avocado! A full one if you’re feeling flush. Go fancy. You deserve it. For breakfast on the go, bundle these crunchy babies into a soft wrap with melted cheese, avocado, roasted red pepper and anything thing else you might like! This recipe calls for a splash of brandy, but maybe switch this out for red wine vinegar if you’re heading to work…

I personally think everyone should begin their day with a potato based breakfast, because why not? Start your day night babs.
