- Remove potatoes from the pot and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chorizo and crumble it with the back of a spoon. Cook for about 7-8 minutes or until slightly crispy.
- Stir in the potatoes and mix well to flavor them with the spicy chorizo oil.

Notes

- Boil the potatoes just briefly so they can finish to cook with chorizo.
- Pay attention when cooking the chorizo as it can burn easily if leaving the pan unattended.
