Enjoy a taste of Spain with this Chorizo with Spanish-Style Potatoes recipe! 

As you all know, I’m a huge fan of sheet pan recipes. I love trying and sharing different and easy-to-make recipes with my readers.

This week, I’m sharing a sheet pan recipe that is popular in Spanish cuisine, Chorizo with Spanish-Style Potatoes. This hearty meal is a perfect weeknight dinner, main course, or side dish for any occasion. 

Fun Facts about Chorizo with Spanish-Style Potatoes

• This recipe is also known as Patatas a la Rioja or Rioja-Style Potatoes.
• This hearty meal is one of the signature dishes in La Rioja, a wine-growing region in Spain. You can use potato slices for this, but Spanish cooks prefer to break the Riojan potatoes by hand so it releases more starch.
• Some traditional ingredients may include red bell pepper, bay leaves, and mushrooms.
• Also known as Papas con Chorizo in Mexico.

Tip: The Chorizo sausage releases liquid as it cooks, which affects the texture of the onions and their ability to brown. If preferred, the onions can be sautéed in a skillet while the sausage and potatoes roast.

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 35-40 minutes
Serves: 4

Directions

#1. Place the top oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat™ baking mat. Set aside.

#2. Add onion, one tablespoon of olive oil, and a half teaspoon of garlic powder to a medium-sized bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and toss to combine. Set aside. 

#3. After slicing the sausage links on a cutting board, place them onto the prepared baking sheet and spread the seasoned onions around them in a single layer without overcrowding. Set aside. 

#4. Place the potatoes into the same bowl used for the onions and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.

Add the smoked paprika, tomato paste, and the remaining garlic powder. 

Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and toss to combine. 

#5. Arrange the seasoned potatoes onto the same baking sheet, making sure all ingredients are spread into a single layer without overcrowding. Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning the sausage, onions, and potatoes after 15 minutes.
