For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of chili powder to the potatoes while sautéing. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as a fried egg, crumbled Cotija cheese, fresh cilantro, a drizzle of hot sauce, and a side of creamy avocado for a complete and satisfying meal. Feel free to adjust the amount of chorizo to suit your spice preference. For a milder flavor, use a sweet chorizo or a combination of chorizo and ground pork.

Follow The Directions
01
StepBoil the Potatoes: Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are slightly tender, about 5-6 minutes. Drain well.
02
StepSauté the Chorizo: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a spoon until it's nicely browned and crumbly, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chorizo from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels, reserving about 1 tablespoon of the rendered chorizo fat in the skillet. Add vegetable oil if needed to make up 1 tablespoon.
03
StepSauté the Onions and Potatoes: Add the diced onion to the skillet with the chorizo fat and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes. Add the drained potatoes to the skillet and sauté until they are lightly browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
04
StepCombine and Season: Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet with the potatoes and onions. Stir to combine. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot.
