Tapatio aloo - HOT!

For some spicy breakfast potatoes - country style - start with potatoes cooked in the microwave. Break them into pieces. You ofcourse need some Tapatio sauce!


Break the potatoes - don't use a knife.


Add to a pan with some olive oil. Add salt, basil, parsley and some oregano.


Cook until nice and brown - this is a slow process so be patient. When ready add the tapatio, stir and serve!
Caution - can be very spicy.
