Let’s cook something comforting. Chorizo con Papas is a classic, hearty dish that brings bold flavor and simple ingredients together in one pan. Savory chorizo paired with tender potatoes makes this an easy crowd-pleaser for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Serve it as a main dish, in tacos, or as a flavorful side — it’s comfort food that never disappoints.

Let’s Get Started

  • Prep Time: 10 mins
  • Cook Time: 10 mins
  • Makes: 3 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 links (12 oz.) El Popular Chorizo (any flavor of your choice)
  • 1 tsp cooking oil
  • 5-6 potatoes
  • 1/2 Onion
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  • Wash the potatoes well, then place in a large sauce pot and cover with water. Place a lid on the pot and bring it up to a boil over high heat.
  • Boil the potatoes just until they are tender enough to pierce with a fork (about 7-10 min). Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
  • While potatoes are boiling, cook the chorizo. Remove the chorizo from casing and heat over medium heat. Breakup and cook evenly for 4 minutes. Add in the onion, sautéing together with the chorizo.
  • Add the chorizo and onions in with the potatoes and stir together.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Chorizo 101

Chorizo is a spicy sausage believed to have come from Ancient Rome and later adopted by the Spaniards who brought it to Mexico. Unlike Spanish Chorizo — Mexican Chorizo is soft, raw, uncured, and uncooked. Similar to how Americans view bacon, Chorizo is a versatile ingredient used to enhance any dish!

  • Prep Time: 2 minutes

Ingredients

  • Remove casing from El Popular Chorizo links.
  • Place desired amount in a non-stick skillet.
  • Break-up El Popular Chorizo while cooking at medium heat.
  • Sauté for 7-8 minutes until the El Popular Chorizo is fully cooked or the internal temperature is 165 degrees (F).
  • Enjoy on or in any dish.
