Ingredients

3 bagels

450 gsausage meat

2 tbspsmoked paprika

1 tbsp cayenne

smashed 3garlic cloves

1 tbspwhite wine vinegar

300 gmaris piper potatoes, cubed

3 tbsp olive oil

And that's because as a culinary technique, smashing is up there with the braisings, the ballotines, the brunoisses.

Method

Cut the bagels in half. Mix the sausage meat thoroughly with the paprika, cayenne, garlic and white wine vinegar to create your DIY chorizo - alternatively, buy some cooking chorizo!

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Peel and cube your potatoes to roughly 1cm pieces, then place in a heat resistant bowl and pour boiling water over them - this is a cheats way of sort of blanching them. Drizzle with olive oil on a baking tray and roast for around 40 minutes or until really crispy.

Smush the chorizo mix onto one side of each bagel, then heat a little oil and gently pan fry, finishing off in the oven if necessary.

Build your bagels - chorizo bottom, crispy potato cubes, some bravas or tomato sauce, a fried egg, some parsley. Eat immediately!
