Crispy Fried Chorizo and Potatoes

Crispy Fried Chorizo and Potatoes


After making a fresh batch of 
Mexican chorizo the first thing that I like to use it in is with some crispy fried potatoes! This dish is so simple! You just fry the chorizo until it's cooked, and then you keep frying it until it just starts to get all nice and crispy and good! Then you fry some diced potato in the same oil that the chorizo was fried in until the potatoes are crispy on the outside, cooked and soft on the inside and all of the chorizo flavour from the oil has infused into them! These crispy fried potatoes and chorizo are great all by themselves or you can throw them into tacos, burritos, quesadillas, top them with a fried egg, mix in scrambled eggs, etc. along with your favourite taco style toppings.
