  • Add the potatoes and chorizo to the bowl and toss with the olive oil mixture until fully coated. If you don't have a bowl large enough you can also mix right on the baking sheet.

  • Place the potato and chorizo mixture on a sheet pan and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy on the outside.

  • Remove from the oven and serve with a small bowl of peri-peri sauce. You can also mix the peri-peri sauce in with the potatoes. Sprinkle with green onion slices from 2 green onions and lemon juice, and garnish with lemon slices from 1 lemon.

Notes

  • Small links of chorizo work best for this recipe. If you can't find links, feel free to use half-pound logs (typically sold in the deli section).
  • Make sure to use Portuguese chorizo for this recipe.
  • I find it so delicious to mix the papas con chorizo right in with the peri peri sauce! Give it a try, I know you'll love it! Though this makes an excellent side dish, try it as an app by serving papas con chorizo with toothpicks and extra sauce on the side.
  • When purchasing potatoes, try to find potatoes roughly the same size for even slicing- this means even cooking while the dish roasts!
