Coat 9x13” pan with oil or cooking spray. Spread frozen potatoes evenly on pan and place in oven on top rack. Broil on high for 10 minutes, taking the pan out to stir occasionally to ensure all potatoes cook.

Add bell peppers evenly to pan and broil on high 7 minutes or until peppers begin to brown. The goal is to cook out all the moisture to avoid a soggy casserole. Remove from oven and let stand.

Turn off broiler and set oven to 350ºF.

Meanwhile, whisk eggs and seasonings in a very large bowl. When mixture appears consistent, add cottage cheese, half of the grated cheese and chorizo. Stir well with a spoon.

Carefully pour egg mixture over potatoes and peppers. Spread mixture with the back of a spoon to ensure all the potatoes are covered. Sprinkle remaining grated cheese over casserole.

Place in oven on middle rack and cook for 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Garnish with crema or sour cream and green onions.
