Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds potatoes, diced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 10 ounces Mexican chorizo (homemade or store-bought)
- Salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, add potatoes. Cover completely with water, cover with lid, and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until potatoes are cooked through. The potatoes should be tender and easily pricked with a fork. Carefully drain the water and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
- Add chorizo and break up into smaller chunks using a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and stir together to combine with the chorizo mixture. Cook for 5 more minutes.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as necessary. Garnish with chopped cilantro and enjoy.
Notes
- Potatoes - I used yellow potatoes in this recipe, but you can also use russet or red potatoes if that’s what you have at home.
- Dice the potatoes into smaller or larger pieces depending on your preference and how you intend to use them. For example, if you plan to use them as a filling for gorditas, you might want to dice the potatoes a little smaller so they can fit into the pockets of the gorditas a little easier. If you plan on eating it with scrambled eggs or in a taco, you can dice them a little larger like I did in the photos. It's totally up to you!
- The saltiness of store-bought chorizo can vary greatly from brand to brand. I recommend cooking the dish completely, and then tasting and salting it to your liking at the very end.
- Use a leaner meat. Store-bought Mexican chorizo is often fairly fatty. If you're wanting to use a leaner meat, you can make your own Mexican chorizo and use lean ground pork, chicken or turkey as the protein.
