Ingredients

  • 7 oz Portuguese or Spanish Chorizo (or 8 tiny links - Mexican Chorizo does not work in this recipe)
  • 2 pounds fingerling potatoes (I love using white, purple and red in this recipe)
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (if you want to kick up the heat, feel free to add more!)
  • 1/4 cup Peri-Peri Sauce
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 green onions (sliced thin)
  • toothpicks to hold the appetizer together (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375ºF. Remove the casing from 7 oz. Portuguese or Spanish chorizo and slice into 1/4 inch medallions.

  2. 2

    Slice 2 pounds fingerling potatoes into 1/4 inch slices.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, mix 4 tablespoons olive oil with 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder. 

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    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.
