  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

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.

Notes

πŸ₯” Use softer potatoes like baby potatoes or Yukon Gold to reduce boiling time.
🌿 For a vegetarian option, swap pork chorizo with soy chorizo to keep the spice but reduce calories.
🌯 Leftover papas con chorizo works great inside breakfast burritos for next-day meals.
