Ingredients
1 tablespoon salt
8 cups water
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
3 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch cubes
8 ounces pork chorizo
Instructions
1-First: boil the water and salt in a medium pot, then add the potatoes and cook for 7 minutes. Drain and set them aside to prepare for the next step. This parboiling ensures the potatoes are tender inside while getting crispy later.
2-Second: heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, add garlic and onion, and fry until the onion softens, about 2 minutes. Then, add the drained potatoes and stir for 5 minutes to mix the flavors. This step builds the base of your dish, infusing it with aromatic goodness.
3-Third: add the chorizo, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook for 5 more minutes until everything is combined and heated through. Serve immediately for the best texture and taste. For adaptations, substitute with plant-based chorizo if needed, keeping the authentic flavor alive. Remember, tips like using softer potatoes can reduce boiling time, as shared in traditional recipes.
