Ingredients
- 1 lb Russet potatoes
- 9 oz Mexican chorizo
- 0.5 cup White onion
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro(optional)
Instructions
- 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes.
- 2
Place the potato cubes in a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender but still firm. Drain well.
- 3
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo (remove casing if necessary). Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, for about 5-8 minutes until browned.
- 4
Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan. If there isn't enough fat, add the vegetable oil.
- 5
Add the potatoes and diced onion to the skillet. Fry over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- 6
Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet and stir to combine with the potatoes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- 7
Season with additional salt if needed and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
