Chorizo con Papas

Chorizo con Papas Recipe

Fresh chorizo, without a casing, is simple to make. This recipe yields about three and a half pounds of the sausage—enough for this hearty potato dish, plus plenty leftover for topping eggs or filling tacos.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make the chorizo: Heat both chiles in a 12″ skillet over medium-high heat; cook, turning, until toasted, about 5 minutes. Transfer chiles to a bowl and cover with 4 cups boiling water; let sit until soft, about 15 minutes. Drain chiles, reserving ¾ cup soaking liquid, and transfer to a blender along with reserved soaking liquid, cilantro, vinegar, paprika, salt, oregano, pepper, cumin, coriander, and garlic; purée until smooth. Transfer purée to a bowl and add pork and fatback; mix until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 week.

2. Make the chorizo con papas: Bring a 6-qt. saucepan of water to a boil; add potatoes and cook until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. Heat 3 tbsp. oil in a 12″ skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb. prepared chorizo, and cook, stirring to break up large chunks, until browned and fat renders, about 8 minutes. Transfer chorizo to a bowl and set aside. Add remaining oil to skillet, and then add reserved potatoes and onion; cook, stirring, until potatoes are browned and crusty, about 10 minutes. Stir in reserved chorizo; season with salt and pepper before serving.
