To make Pambazo sandwiches using papas con chorizo

The recipe is here, and pictures of the process are below:

Ingredients:

• 4 oz. Mexican pork chorizo or vegetarian chorizo (113 g)

• 8 oz. red or other waxy potato (226 g)

• 1/4 of a yellow or white onion (about 60 g)

• Oil (optional)

• Salt

Directions:

1. Finely dice the onion, set aside.

2. Peel and cube the potatoes into 1/4 inch cubes. Add to a small pot and cover with water. Mix in about 1 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

3. In a non-stick pan add a little oil on medium heat. Add the onion and fry for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly.

4. Then add the chorizo, break it into pieces and fry for about 5-6 minutes, stirring regularly (use a lid to avoid grease splatter), until browned and cooked.

5. Remove the chorizo and onion onto a plate and set aside, but leave excess oil/grease in the pan. Add the potatoes and about 1 Tbsp. oil into the pan and fry for about 10 minutes, or until they are crispy and brown.

6. Add the chorizo and onions back to the pan and fry for 1-2 minutes, mixing well. Taste and add more salt if necessary!

7. Serve! You can serve it with or on toasted tortillas, with eggs, with cheese, in a burrito, in a sandwich, anyway you would like! Store leftovers in an airtight container in a refrigerator for up to 5 days.

8. 1-2 servings. Feel free to double it!
