Chorizo with Potatoes

Chorizo cooked with Potatoes in the Skillet – Yum Fresh Sausage, Potatoes and Apples

Make this delicious sausage and potato recipe for a hearty breakfast the whole family will enjoy. Put a little Mexican flair into your breakfast side dish by using a seasoned Chorizo sausage.

Chorizo sausage is highly seasoned pork sausage mainly used in Spanish and Mexican cooking. It’s definitely one of our favorite sausages to use in cooking because of the spicy burst of flavor.

How to Make Skillet Sausage and Potatoes –

Add chorizo sausage links to cast iron skillet. Add 1/2 cup of water and turn heat to medium.

Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning once halfway through. Remove from heat and transfer the sausage to a large, rimmed plate.

Add the red onion, garlic, potatoes, rosemary, and thyme leaves. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and the potatoes are golden brown, approximately 10-15 minutes.

While the vegetables are cooking, slice the sausage links into bite-sized pieces and return to the rimmed plate. Set aside.

Once the potatoes are browned, deglaze the skillet by adding the chicken broth and gently scraping the bottom with a spatula to release any browned bits. Simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the chopped apples and sliced sausage to the skillet and stir to combine. Cover and cook just until the apples are crisp-tender and the sausage is cooked through, approximately 4-5 minutes. Do not overcook the apples. 8. Remove from heat and garnish with some fresh chopped parsley right before serving. Enjoy!

Cooking Tips:

Partially cooking the sausage (Step 1) first makes it much easier to slice later.

Once the sausage is partially cooked, blot up any excess water with paper towels to prevent splattering, but do not wipe the skillet clean. When the skillet is deglazed (Step 6), the browned bits from the sausage add wonderful flavor to the final dish.

Chop the apples while the other vegetables are simmering in Step 6 or toss them in some fresh lemon juice to prevent browning if chopping ahead of time.
