Crispy, golden fries topped with smoky chorizo, melty cheddar, creamy sauce, and fresh herbs—Chorizo Fries are the ultimate indulgent snack or crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Ingredients

  • Russet Potatoes: 4 large, cut into thin fries – Starchy and ideal for getting that crispy outside.
  • Olive Oil: 3 tablespoons – Helps crisp the fries and adds flavor.
  • Paprika: 1 teaspoon – Adds smokiness and color to the fries.
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon – Enhances all the savory elements.
  • Ground Black Pepper: ½ teaspoon – Adds subtle heat.
  • Chorizo Sausage: 250 grams, casing removed and crumbled – The star of the show with bold, smoky flavor.
  • Cheddar Cheese: 1 cup, shredded – Melts beautifully over the hot fries and meat.
  • Sour Cream or Aioli: ½ cup – For that cool, creamy contrast.
  • Fresh Cilantro: 2 tablespoons, chopped – Brings a pop of freshness.
  • Green Onions: 2, thinly sliced – Adds brightness and crunch.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Toss potato fries in olive oil, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Spread the fries in a single layer on your lined baking sheet, leaving space between them for even crisping.
  4. Assemble the Dish: While fries bake, cook the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat for 7–10 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks until browned and fragrant.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake fries for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. Add shredded cheese in the last 5 minutes of baking.
  6. Finishing Touches: Remove from oven, top with hot chorizo, drizzle with sour cream or aioli, and sprinkle cilantro and green onions.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Get ready for the flavor explosion!

Notes

  • Use sweet potatoes for a twist on the classic.
  • Make it vegetarian by swapping in soy chorizo.
  • Air-fry for a lighter version that still packs crunch.
  • Prepare sauces ahead for easy assembly.
