Ingredients for 2-Step Potato-Chorizo Hors d’Oeuvres
- 2 1/2 pounds baby red potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound chorizo
- 1 lime, quartered
- 1 recipe Avocado Salsa
Directions for 2-Step Potato-Chorizo Hors d’Oeuvres
- In a saucepan of actively boiling lightly salted water, blanch the potatoes for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tines of a fork will just pierce the surface. Drain and, when cool enough to handle, cut them in half and score the cut side of each with the tines of a fork.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- In a bowl, combine the potatoes with the olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper and toss together until evenly coated. Transfer the potatoes to the hot skillet and spread them out into an even layer so they are hardly touching each other. Heat until sizzling, then transfer the skillet to the hot oven. Toast, turning over every 10 minutes, for about 30 minutes, until very crisp and golden.
- While the potatoes are roasting, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons water. Cook the sausages for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally and pouring off the fat as it accumulates. Drain the sausages briefly on a double thickness of paper towels and slice them 3/4 thick.
- Place a slice of sausage on top of each roasted potato half and secure with a toothpick. Assemble the hors d’oeuvres on a platter and squeeze a little lime juice over them. Serve, accompanied by Avocado Salsa.

Avocado trees are partially self-pollinating, and are often propagated through grafting to maintain predictable fruit quality and quantity.Avocados are cultivated in tropical and Mediterranean climates of many countries, with Mexico as the leading producer of avocados in 2019, supplying 32% of the world total.The fruit of domestic varieties has a buttery flesh when ripe. Depending on the variety, avocados have green, brown, purplish, or black skin when ripe, and may be pear-shaped, egg-shaped, or spherical. Commercially, the fruits are picked while immature, and ripened after harvesting.

- Chorizo – Chorizo (/tʃəˈriːzoʊ, -soʊ/, from Spanish ; similar to but distinct from Portuguese chouriço ; Konkani: शुरीछु ) is a type of pork sausage originating from the Iberian Peninsula.In Europe, chorizo is a fermented, cured, smoked sausage, which may be sliced and eaten without cooking, or added as an ingredient to add flavor to other dishes. Elsewhere, some sausages sold as chorizo may not be fermented and cured, and require cooking before eating. Spanish chorizo and Portuguese chouriço are distinctly different sausages, despite both getting their smokiness and deep red color from dried, smoked, red peppers (pimentón/pimentão).Chorizo is eaten sliced in a sandwich, grilled, fried, or simmered in liquid, including apple cider or other strong alcoholic beverages such as aguardiente. It is also used as a partial replacement for ground (minced) beef or pork.
