8 tiny hard chorizo links
Slice 2 pounds fingerling potatoes into ¼ inch slices.
2.5 pounds fingerling potatoes
In a bowl, mix 4 tablespoons olive oil with 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, and ½ teaspoon chili powder.
4 Tablespoons olive oil, 1.5 Tablespoon garlic powder, 1.5 Tablespoon paprika, ½ teaspoon chili powder
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.
½ cup Peri-Peri Sauce, 1 lemon, 3 green onions sliced thin, toothpicks
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!
