Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 pounds Fresh chorizo sausage (casings removed)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 whole Chopped green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the baby potatoes and cut them into quarters (or halves if they are small). Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Toss the potatoes in a large mixing bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
While the potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh chorizo and cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is fully cooked and slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a heatproof serving dish.
Top the potatoes with the cooked chorizo, spreading it evenly over the surface. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top, then return the dish to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
