Chorrillana Recipe

This is a classic Chilean bar dish that has a ton of variations! I made it with chorizo and mushrooms (my favorite combo) but you can use beef, ground beef, just cheese and sour cream and pretty much any other combination you can think about. The cheese always goes on the bottom so it sticks to the potatoes.

How to make Chorrillana

Now that you have gathered your ingredients, it is time to make chorrillana. All you have to do is follow the steps below:

The first step is to heat the oil and fry the potatoes. You want to do this in a large pot over medium heat.

Do it in batches so that the oil doesn’t drop in temperature. Cook the fries until golden brown and crunchy.

Once fried, transfer to a dish lined with paper towels to get off the excess grease. If you like, you can season with salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer the potatoes to an oven-safe plate and top with mozzarella cheese.

In a separate pan, cook your chorizo for roughly 3 minutes, or until crispy. Add your mushrooms and season with salt and pepper.

Cook for an additional three minutes or until the mushrooms are cooked. Pour over the mozzarella covered fries.

Cook in the oven for 10 minutes at a temperature of 375F.

While the fries are in the oven, use the skillet you cooked the sausage in to fry your eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Remove the fries from the oven, top with the eggs, and serve.

Your chorrillana is ready to serve!
