Chorizo Garlic Mashed Potatoes
- 5 whole New Potatoes, Medium Sized
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 whole Red Onion, Small
- 1/4 pounds Deli-sliced Chorizo, Hard-cured
- 3 cloves Roasted Garlic
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 1/2 cups Milk
- The prepping time includes 30 minutes to roast 1 clove of garlic in a toaster oven (follow Pioneer Woman's instructions for this on her site). If you already have some garlic roasted, your prep time won't be as long.
- Peel and cube the potatoes.
- Place potatoes in a large pot covered with plenty of water. Salt the water a bit so the potatoes will be salted.
- Set your stove to a high heat.
- Bring the water to a boil and boil your potatoes until fork tender.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare your other ingredients.
- Dice the onion, roasted garlic, and chorizo.
- Place 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat.
- Place the onions in the heated oil and cook until semi-translucent.
- Next place the chorizo in the skillet with the onions.
- Cook until onions are sort of brownish and the chorizo is nice and crisp.
- Add your diced roasted garlic at the end to heat it up if need be (optional step).
- Check your potatoes. When they are fork tender, drain and transfer to a bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter and a 1/4 cup of milk.
- Use a hand mixer to blend potatoes until smooth.
- Add the remaining 1/4 cup of milk (if needed) to continue to smooth out the potatoes.
- Basically, you need to just make quick mashed potatoes.
- Once the potatoes are mashed, add the chorizo, onions, and roasted garlic. Mix together well.
- Eat and enjoy!
