Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Papas con Chorizo (Mexican Chorizo and Potatoes).

1. Step 1

   Start by taking your cubed Yukon gold potatoes and placing them in a large pot.

2. Step 2

   Cover them with salted water and bring it to a lively boil.

3. Step 3

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer gently until they’re just starting to soften, which should take about 5 to 6 minutes.

4. Step 4

   After that, drain the potatoes and set them aside, letting them cool a bit while you prepare the rest of the dish.

5. Step 5

   Next, grab a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat.

6. Step 6

   Add the chorizo, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks.

7. Step 7

   Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally until the chorizo is beautifully browned, which will take around 5 to 6 minutes.

8. Step 8

   Once it’s cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the chorizo to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving about a tablespoon of the flavorful grease in the skillet.

   If you find there isn’t enough grease, feel free to add a splash of vegetable oil to make up the difference.
