Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 200 grams Chorizo
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup Green olives, pitted and sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 cups Water
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes.
In a large pot, add 8 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and add the potato cubes.
Cook the potatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooking, slice the chorizo into thin rounds.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chorizo for 4-5 minutes until it is browned and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, chorizo, red bell pepper, green olives, and chopped parsley.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold or at room temperature, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
