Mexican Chorizo & Fried Potatoes – Mexican Chorizo y Papas Fritas

Most people will boil their potatoes before frying them. As most recipes call for par-boiling the potatoes first to reduce the amount of cooking time, but it’s an extra step and an extra pan to wash.

If you first chop the potatoes into bite sized pieces, cooking them over medium-heat, trapping the steam with a lid on, helping the potatoes to cook through.

A skillet covered full of bite sized potato chunks will take between 12-15 minutes to cook through.

Were as it takes about 20 minutes for the potatoes to cook up tender in a pot of boiling water.

And that 20 minutes doesn’t include the time to bring the water to a boil nor the time to cool the potatoes, then chop them and wait for a skillet to warm to fry them.
