Taters Gonna Tate. Potato salad has been a staple of American picnic cuisine for decades, but we at El Pop’ decided to stir the pot (err…stir the bowl?) and kick the potato salad game up a notch. Try out this recipe for Creamy Chorizo and Potato Salad to wow your neighbors, your family, and your taste buds.
Let’s Get Started
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Makes: 7 Servings
Ingredients
1 package (12 oz) El Popular “Original” Chorizo
1½ lbs red potatoes (cut into small cubes to make about 4 cups)
¾ cup mayo
1 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tsp granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
1 stalk celery, finely diced
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
½ medium green pepper, finely diced
Directions
Boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and set them all aside.
Remove casing from Chorizo, and place in a medium skillet. Cook for 4-5 min until brown. Remove Chorizo from pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off all but 2 tbsps of the Chorizo drippings into the skillet and remove the pan from heat.
Add the mayo, mustard, sugar and salt to the reserved Chorizo drippings in the skillet and whisk to combine.
In a large bowl, combine potatoes, eggs, celery, onion and green pepper. Pour the dressing over the ingredients and gently stir to evenly coat. Stir in the Chorizo.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. Leftovers can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
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 style is soft, raw, uncured, and uncooked.
Similar to how Americans view bacon, Chorizo is a versatile ingredient one can use to enhance any dish!
Directions
Remove casing from Chorizo links.
Place desired amount in a non-stick skillet.
Break-up Chorizo while cooking at medium heat.
Sauté for 7-8 minutes until the Chorizo is fully cooked or the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees (F).
Enjoy on or in any dish.
