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
- 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.
