Roasted Potato Chorizo Hors Doeuvres Recipes

PAPAS CON CHORIZO (MEXICAN CHORIZO AND POTATOES)

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, cook chorizo over medium-high heat in a large skillet, breaking up any large clumps, until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove chorizo to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon, reserving about 1 tablespoon of grease in the skillet. Add oil if necessary to make up 1 tablespoon.
• Cook onion in the same skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add potatoes to the skillet and saute until potatoes are lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in chorizo and season with salt and pepper.

ROASTED CHORIZO POTATOES

Steps:

• In a cast iron pan (skillet or dutch oven that you can transfer to the oven) Brown the potatoes in olive oil, add additional oil as necessary. When the potatoes are almost crisped (over medium heat it took me about 10 min) add the chorizo & cook until it melts down, then add garlic, and onion & cook for about 3 min. Add the bell pepper and toss together.
• Transfer to a 350 oven and finish the potatoes in the oven until tender. About 20-25 minutes.

ROASTED POTATOES WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a large baking dish with cooking spray. Scrub potatoes and cut into quarters (eights if they are really huge). Place into a microwave safe bowl with a 1/4 cup of water. Cover and cook for three minutes.
• While the potatoes are cooking, cut the sausage into small coins. Peel and cut the onion. Mix the cans of tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, sausage,and spices together. Put this mixture into the baking dish.
• Drain the partially cooked potatoes and mix with the other ingredients in the baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and cook in the oven for 50 - 60 minutes. You may want to remove the foil after the first thiry minutes and let the dish cook uncovered if you'd like the sauce to reduce and to have some crispy bits of potato and sausage.

2-STEP POTATO-CHORIZO HORS D'OEUVRES

Steps:

• In a saucepan of actively boiling lightly salted water, blanch the potatoes for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tines of a fork will just pierce the surface. Drain and, when cool enough to handle, cut them in half and score the cut side of each with the tines of a fork.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
• In a bowl, combine the potatoes with the olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper and toss together until evenly coated. Transfer the potatoes to the hot skillet and spread them out into an even layer so they are hardly touching each other. Heat until sizzling, then transfer the skillet to the hot oven. Toast, turning over every 10 minutes, for about 30 minutes, until very crisp and golden.
• While the potatoes are roasting, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons water. Cook the sausages for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally and pouring off the fat as it accumulates. Drain the sausages briefly on a double thickness of paper towels and slice them 3/4 thick.
• Place a slice of sausage on top of each roasted potato half and secure with a toothpick. Assemble the hors d'oeuvres on a platter and squeeze a little lime juice over them. Serve, accompanied by Avocado Salsa.

SAUTEED POTATOES WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking up the clumps, until dry and crisp, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chorizo to a paper lined plate to absorb any additional oil. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan and heat the pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and boiled potatoes and saute until brown, about 12 minutes. Stir in the cooked chorizo and season with just a little salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

PATATAS BRAVAS WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Heat a little oil in a pan, fry the onion, garlic and chilli until the onion softens, add the cayenne and paprika and stir. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer, then cook the whole mixture down for about 20 mins until you have a thick paste. Season well and, if you prefer a smooth sauce, blitz it with a hand blender.
• Meanwhile, steam the potatoes for 10 mins and put the chorizo in a frying pan to slowly cook and release some of its oil. Tip off the excess red oil and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the potatoes and fry everything together, turning the heat up as you go so both the potatoes and chorizo brown in patches. Tip into a bowl. Season the sauce - if it isn't hot enough add a few more pinches of cayenne. Spoon the sauce over the potatoes and chorizo to serve.
