Fun facts:
- This recipe is also known as Patatas a la riojana 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.
