Chorizo and Potatoes

Everyone loves potato recipes and these Skillet Chorizo Potatoes are so easy to make and packed full of flavor.

The potatoes are boiled first, so you can make them in advance and just finish them off at dinner time.

And the chorizo gives everything so much flavor, that you only need a few other ingredients!

What chorizo to use?

The two main types of chorizo are Spanish Chorizo and Mexican Chorizo. You can read more about the different chorizo here in my Shrimp Chorizo pasta recipe.

For this recipe, I like to use the Mexican chorizo or a soft uncured Spanish chorizo. The softer sausage breaks up in the pan to give plenty of gnarly edges that crisp up, giving the dish some wonderful texture.

If you find you have a harder cured chorizo that is fine, the flavors are still amazing. Just slice it into half-moons, fry it off in a little oil until it is crispy on the outside and continue with the recipe as written. You might find you need to add a little extra olive oil when you are cooking the potatoes, as Spanish chorizo doesn't always give off as much oil.

Best Potato for Hash

This depends on how you like your hash. If you are a big fan of lots of crispy edges and plenty of crunch then you want to pick a starchy potato like a Russet.

If you like a really creamy soft potato without too much crispy curst then go for a waxy red potato or a new potato.

For something in the middle Yukon gold or Nadines are best. They have the buttery soft interior but will get a good crunch to them. (My fav choice!)

How to serve chorizo potatoes

Chorizo Hash makes a wonderful breakfast! Crispy potatoes, flavored packed chorizo, topped with an oozy egg or two....does it get much better than that on a lazy weekend?

I like to serve this chorizo and potatoes, with a sunny side up fried egg, I love the crispy edges of the egg and the way the yolk drips through onto my hash. Poached eggs would be great here too.

But don't reserve these chorizo potatoes for breakfast and brunch. Served as a side dish they are perfect!

A juicy chicken breast or perfectly grilled steak, some sauteed kale and a side of chorizo hash....lush!

Or for something a bit different, add a pan-fried fillet of fish. If you are feeling like a splurge add some hollandaise sauce. Oh so good!! (P.s hollandaise doesn't need to be difficult. Check out my foolproof hollandaise recipe)
