Cheesy Chorizo Potatoes, Millie's image

We love our Mexican food ! These potatoes are great when you don't want to have rice. The chorizo gives these potatoes just the right flavor and the cheese, well, everyone knows cheese makes everything better ! lol..I use whatever cheese I have on hand at the time. It's great with Pepper Jack, cheddar or the Mexican cheese blend....

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 oz mexican chorizo (i get mine fresh from the mexican grocery store.
4 potatoes, med. to lg. sized
1 1/2 c shredded pepper jack, cheddar or mexican blend
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
2 - 3 Tbsp oil (i used coconut oil)

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all the dry ingredients and set aside. Peel potatoes, wash, dry, then cut into quarters and slice into about 1/4-1/2 inch thick pieces. Mix dry ingredients then sprinkle onto potatoes and toss to coat all.
  • 2. Heat skillet (med/hi) and add oil then potatoes. Toss to coat potatoes in the oil. Cover with a lid. Cook for a couple minutes then turn potatoes with a spatula and recover and repeat till potatoes are almost done then finish uncovered. When done, remove potatoes from pan and set then aside.
  • 3. Remove chorizo from casings and fry in same skillet. (chorizo is like hamburger meat with spices in it except it's made from pork not beef)
  • 4. Once chorizo is done dump in potatoes and stir to mix up. Add cheese and cover for a minute or two just until cheese melts
