Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs Potatoes (Red or Yukon Gold)
  • 4 oz Chorizo (Spanish or Mexican)
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1.5 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 0.5 tsp Onion Powder
  • 0.75 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (for garnish)

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash the potatoes and dice them into ½-inch to 1-inch cubes, depending on your preference. Remove the chorizo from its casing (if applicable) and crumble or dice it into small pieces.

Seasoning

In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, crumbled chorizo, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to ensure the potatoes and chorizo are evenly coated with the seasonings. Make sure that every piece is infused with spices.

Roasting

Spread the mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and slightly crispy, and the chorizo is cooked through and browned. Stir or flip the potatoes halfway through for even roasting.

Serving

Remove the roasted potatoes and chorizo from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added freshness and flavor. Serve hot as a side dish or as part of a breakfast burrito or breakfast hash. It complements scrambled eggs or a fried egg perfectly!
