Chorizo con Papas

January 17, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Growing up my mom would make chorizo con papas, or chorizo with potatoes, and we would have it with eggs for breakfast or as burritos for lunch. It’s really one of those feel-good meals that always brings back memories and makes my heart super happy!

I think everyone that knows about chorizo con papas immediately thinks of breakfast but it can be used for all kinds of goods! My mami always made it with potatoes to have on hand for burritos, tacos, or even just on its own with some delicious salsa and homemade tortillas. It is absolutely perfect to make for meal prep and have on hand for the week.

Whole30 talk here: this is the perfect stuffing for my breakfast egg enchiladas, breakfast stuffed peppers, or makes a great topping for a salad. I would also highly suggest this as a stuffing for my chiles rellenos, you seriously will not regret it! Speaking of Whole30, make sure your chorizo is compliant by checking the ingredients. A couple of compliant chorizo brands that I love are Persons Farms and Mulay Sausage. Another great way to get compliant chorizo is checking out your local grocery stores or butcher shops and just ask about the ingredients to ensure it is compliant. Better yet, make your own chorizo! Check out my recipe here.

There are various ways to make this delicious combo but I highly suggest roasting your potatoes while you cook the chorizo. There’s something about the texture and flavor of the potatoes roasted in the oven that brings it to a whole new level.  You can certainly just pan fry the potatoes with a little oil or cook them in the fat rendered by the chorizo.
