How to Make Patatas A Lo Pobre Modification On A Traditional Spanish Dish

  1. Peel and thinly slice 2 lbs potatoes. Soak in cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch.
  2. While potatoes soak, finely chop 1 large onion and 2 cloves garlic. Slice 8 oz chorizo sausage into 1/4 inch thick rounds.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until browned and slightly crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove chorizo from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add potatoes to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
  5. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  7. Return the chorizo to the skillet. Add 1/2 cup of chicken broth or water and bring to a simmer.
  8. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  9. Once cooked, remove lid and cook for few minutes more to allow excess liquid to evaporate and potatoes to crisp.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
