Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add 2 cups peeled and diced potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until edges begin to crisp and potatoes are tender inside.
2. Step 2: Push potatoes to the side of the skillet and add 6 oz sliced Spanish chorizo. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the chorizo releases its oils and becomes slightly crispy.
