Spicy Chorizo & Sweet Potato Hash with Fried Halloumi

Sweet potatoes and spicy chorizo hash with halloumi fries

Let's face it: Lindsay Lohan's 2003 film Freaky Friday was a *masterpiece* of improvisation. Although a little confusing, it's a testament to the power of unconventional recipes and true creativity. My culinary journey was similar. We are constantly changing and replacing, always looking for flavor profiles that are both familiar and completely unique. This hash is a good example: it starts with a simple base, but the additives and spices make it special. And of course it *needs* a lot of paprika. A little rebellious, a little quiet and very tasty.
