Hi

[@markperez3031]

Love this side of papas & chorizo! Great video & thanks for the plug..can't wait to see you soon!

[@acooknamedMatt]

You’re the best !

[@jacquelinewashington7851]

When you said you weren’t sure why people seemed more engaged, I went to your past videos and found the scrambled eggs on toast video I watched a while ago. I watched it again and quickly remembered why I never returned to your videos- it was all the cursing. It made it hard to focus on the recipe and decided-not for me. This morning your tacos video came up and I had completely forgotten that I had written you off. I love the tacos video and thinking about making them tonight! Loved it so much I moved on to this video and I will return for more. Thanks for getting rid of the icky language so we can see the true you shine through. You seem more connected as well! I’ll be back, see you soon!!

[@deenaallen7668]

Definitely making these for Friendsgiving this year. I’d love more SIDES as well. Thanks Matt, love your Mexican food videos!

[@TomBecker-sp4dw]

Miss the TX breakfast tacos. Had some leftover smoked chuck roast so I replicated your taquitos with that, top notch and simple. Thanks for showing how to do the tortillas, really helped me there. Keep them coming!

[@apg0014]

It's nice to see you throwing up these videos back to back to back. I'm here for em'.

[@acooknamedMatt]

More to come!

[@VaultDwellerGal]

Great video! Thanks for sharing; I can’t wait to try this method! No joke, I seriously had to pause the video and make chorizo and egg taquitos. Chorizo de San Manuel really hit the spot 😀

[@acooknamedMatt]

So rad love egg taquitos

[@morgantaylor5992]

I have never found chorizo to my liking, but i'm willing to try it again for these. I came over from fb. I've followed you for a long time but after trying and succeeding recently at pasta and taquitos, i'm trying to branch out more to teach my toddler. You had me at fried potato. Idk why i stopped watching your story but i agree with other comments that your chill demeanor is pleasant. Maybe you just grew up? Lol. You seem more genuine and professional at the same time, which is impressive for a content creator. I also liked that you didn't edit out saying "ungins" (i did that as a kid) and dropping the chorizo. Authenticity will go a long way, and so will fried potatoes! I'm terrible at smashed potatoes but i'm gonna be getting better thanks to you. --southeastern US

[@rosebojorquez1237]

Grew up in the Boyle Hights/East LA area in California...papas con chorizo was a neighborhood favorite! I will be trying this...I know it will be a hit. BTW I grew up thinking that spaghetti with a chorizo sauce 😋 was how EVERYONE made spaghetti!! Its delicious!❤❤😊

[@pennyinaz]

Thanks for your your different take on the beautiful chorizo con pappas. For anyone in Arizona, Denmark Foods Arizona Fresh Pork Chorizo is really good. Not too fatty and has the perfect heat. Sold at Fry's and Sprouts. It's the best I've found when I'm too lazy to make my own. ☺️💞

[@danadyd59]

I love this new format. You seem focused, and really mellow. I like the calm demeanor. Smashed potatoes have been a favorite at my house for 20 years. I'm totally going to try them with the chorizo! Nice spin on papas con chorizo!

[@acooknamedMatt]

Thanks! And wow that’s rad

[@sweetiepie7118]

San Manuel chorizo from the RGV is the best. I just found your channel and loving it. I’m from Hidalgo County, but have been at Brownsville many times. Happy I found you!

[@GaryMahony]

Followed the recipe and it worked great. Like your stories about growing up with this type of good food.

[@OzMee]

Like the videos and the recipes. It is nice that you tell your history with each dish as well. Looking forward to more!

[@battiekoda]

@1:50, YES!!!!! Please do a video on some of those!!! 😂❤

[@lauracook7608]

I make smashed potatoes all the time but I never thought to make papas con chorizo with them! Great idea!

[@acooknamedMatt]

Yum

[@meriahaiello]

Brownsville!! I have a really nice story to share .. Next vi! 😍

[@Grehmdel]

Papas con chorizo and eggs was the best breakfast burrito from the taco truck in San Antonio. Thanks for the recipe! I will be making this for family.

[@willn.ocompli687]

Love your take on traditional Mexican favorites. 👍

[@acooknamedMatt]

Glad you like them!

[@TisDana]

Love the elevation of the presentation of the traditional comfort food. Fellow Texan ❤ Btw, today is my birthday and my birthday breakfast was eggs/chorizo breakfast tacos. 🌮

[@imperezident74]

Love your helpful kitchen techniques - I have that same mug! 😊

Sides coming

[@kellydoeslife]

I find your videos really relaxing, could watch you all day.

[@acooknamedMatt]

Thank you so much

[@blackjackb97]

Awesome video bruv. Love to watch you cook. Thanks

[@acooknamedMatt]

Thank you so much

[@ANTOCOOKINGART]

This recipe is also good, I should try to take this recipe to cook for my family and friends and I thank you for your sharing and I love this video❤❤

[@mike29412]

I want to see a Matt & Kenji potluck dinner!

[@acooknamedMatt]

Will do

[@phroskies]

I have not been back to Brownsville in over 15 years, but this guy is the next best thing.

[@TheSenorFluffy]

Definitely want to see some more sides

[@SnoDraken]

I come from Chicago and mother is half Mexican, my Tata came from a small town in Guanajuato. Your food and stories remind me of my childhood.

[@acooknamedMatt]

That’s so cool

[@karlynnelangerak4549]

Yes please do a vidio of all of those bakery😊❤

[@moniemonie48]

Definitely time to elevate my papas con chorizo! Thank you for sharing your take on this awesome side dish!

[@acooknamedMatt]

Hope you enjoy

[@BenjiManTV]

Damn that looks delicious

[@Memecs20]

A whole new presentation worth trying out... I've always (the few times I've done it) cooked it with the papa in a small dice, fry them up then add the chorizo. My wife will definitively love the fried onios. BTW sides, sides, sides~

[@acooknamedMatt]

Hope you enjoy

[@battiekoda]

Also, I know this is off-topic, but Matt, where did you get that mug that you're using to smash the potatoes? I love it! 😂

[@JasminCamacho111]

Make mexican elote as a side but the way we make them in Brownsville & of course add your twist into it looove your videos!!!

[@necrosiskoc9617]

I love chorizo on pretty much anything, my ex-gf would make huevos con papas, chorizo ​​y queso for breakfast all the time and it was delicious. I will say sides, sides, and more sides... I just discovered your channel yesterday and quickly subscribed after watching a couple videos.

[@acooknamedMatt]

Sounds like a solid breakfast. Thanks and i will bring the sides

[@Anna-y2p2x]

I used to live in Corpus Christi Texas. I sorrowfully miss the food. Taquerias on every corner. Going to Stripes for tacos. (Deep sigh)😊😊😊

[@MZ-nw7wz]

Bro the oven said 350! : ) Was it still heating up? 375 seem high for pots for me but they look great! Fried onions garnish - delicious. Loving the channel and recipes.

[@acooknamedMatt]

Haha it probably was at 350° then

[@josecavazos3376]

Came here to see if he would say childhood staple. Did not disappoint

[@negadoge]

Alright, now I have to try this.

[@RufusLindley]

Sides sides sides💕

[@MP_Single_Coil]

Love your take on this traditional dish. I'm from New Mexico and we definately dig good tacos but we really love burritos. Why doesn't the valley embrace a good old burrito more often?

[@acooknamedMatt]

Ours are called breakfast taco. Slightly different. Maybe I’ll do a take on that

[@MP_Single_Coil]

@ make sure to add some hatch chile.

[@MrBootneck3027]

Heck yes do the bakery one!

[@acooknamedMatt]

I need to at some point

[@VictoriaDurham-wr3de]

Oh. My Lanta! Lets see what you do on the subject on MOLE!

[@jasonjennings8465]

When I was 18, I worked as an electrician in Dallas Tx. Best thing about that job was the Chorizo breakfast tacos served by the break truck in the morning.

[@acooknamedMatt]

Taco trucks are the best

[@battiekoda]

Oh, man! I love me some taco trucks!!! I miss the one that used to come through on post when I was in the Army.

[@savingpyro]

I'm from San Antonio and we got a place that does the giant taco too, but ours is called Rolando's. Also Charro beans must strictly be a Texas and Northern Mexico thing. I made it as a soup for a job I had in Alaska with a Chef from San Fran and he'd never heard of it. I've actually got 2 quarts in my freezer right now.

[@acooknamedMatt]

I’ve had that ! I lived in San Antonio briefly. So cool.

[@savingpyro]

@@acooknamedMatt South Texas Boys!!🤣

[@philipfrescas1839]

You are the greatest, better than that Guy fieri

[@ceceosborn176]

If you dont mind me asking, where is the mexican grocery you purchased the chorizo from?

[@tjeanvlogs9894]

La Quemada in Redmond. On 80th between 160th and 164th a block or so north of Redmond way.

[@squeento]

Fricken love potatoes 😢. I need to try this. Thanks 🙏🤙🤙🤙

[@acooknamedMatt]

You should!

[@imjenncho]

yummmm, the best side dish

[@acooknamedMatt]

:)

[@JohnnyV.W]

Commenting for the algorithm; Sides~sides~sides My take is that I steam potato wedges in a covered pan for 40 minutes at 375f , then fry em ( I just like wedge's texture better).

[@acooknamedMatt]

Yea that sounds delicious too

[@jeprad]

Ballpark time for the potatoes in the oven?

[@acooknamedMatt]

Depends on the size. For my mini Yukons it was about 45 min at 375°F. Check with a knife if it comes out clean it’s good

[@jeprad]

Idk why but something’s just taste better in the RGV. Huevos rancheros, botanas, and barbacoa.

[@jessefiorinif6057]

I don’t know ya, don’t even know if I like ya. But if you talk about what you love that’s what matters.

[@acooknamedMatt]

[@kennypuckett2677]

I know it's not traditional, but some pickled red onion would kill.

[@acooknamedMatt]

That sounds amazing maybe i do a video on that

[@ndzapruder]

ommygod you're so cute 🥰

[@ndzapruder]

Now that I've finished the video, this is so legit. The idea of using chorizo as a *fat* to fry something in is why I come here.

[@shalad4961]

This is my second video from you. Do you ever wash things? Right from the bag you chopped up cilantro and now in this video dirty potatoes 😵

[@roo1669]

siiiiiides

[@VictoriaDurham-wr3de]

Been doin this for ages, like second nature without knowing why! Pop some OM huevos and drizzle that salsa verde for a truly satisfying meal. I dig the quiet asmr moments, Elton Brown camera work inside the oven and your chill vibe to bring it all home to RGV roots. Sides. Sides.side 🫶
