Description

A flavorful Mexican dish made with potatoes and chorizo, perfect for serving as a main course or side dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 450g potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 225g chorizo, casings removed
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Place diced potatoes in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10–15 minutes until tender. Drain well and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook chorizo for 5–7 minutes until browned and fat is rendered. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cumin; cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
  4. Fold cooked potatoes into the chorizo mixture, gently mixing to coat the potatoes in the rendered oil.
  5. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Continue cooking for 5–7 minutes, allowing edges to crisp lightly.
  6. Transfer to a platter. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve immediately with lime wedges.

Notes
