After seeing the pics of the chorizo taters and eggs I had to try and make some.....Was a little confused by the recipe though.....Added verything except the red chile sauce. The recipe called for 4 cups and the ingedents list was for 2 cups, ya u could double it, but that seemed like a lot of garlic since it already called for garlic powder. Other than that, it looked good and the test fry was tasty. put it in 1 lb freezer bags and will fry the first batch this weekend....pics to follow
 
this has been a work in progress and this is what i did for my last batch and i think it is the best so far....

4 C. CHILE COLORADO (RED CHILI SAUCE)

as for the chili colorado that has not changed any and if you use 2C. of water and one good sized onion and the chilis rehydrate the volume should be around 4C. total......i really urge you to do the chili sauce as it brings a rounded "chili flavor" with not being too hot.  can't wait to see your breakfast!
 
chefrob....

Thanks for sharing. This is on my short list for the upcoming weekend.

What kind of dried chile pods do you use or recommend in the sauce?

 you can use any type.......chili de arbol, ancho (dried pasilla) but i use dried new mexico chili pods which is what most use for making tamales. i do recomend using mild so that you are getting flavor over heat and then just use cayenne for heat. if you notice that is one of the changes in the updated version.

Thanks - I've got ancho, pasilla, guajillo, and arbol in the pantry so I guess I'm good to go.
