- 20 small new red potatoes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 6 ounces Mexican chorizo, removed from casing
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced crosswise
- Sour cream, for serving
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees F and arrange a rack in the upper third.
- Place potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil, season with salt, and toss to coat.
- Roast until potatoes are fork tender, about 30 minutes.
- Set potatoes aside until cool enough to handle.
- Meanwhile, heat a medium nonstick frying pan to medium heat and cook chorizo, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes.

- Bake until skins are warmed through and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven, garnish with green onions, and pass sour cream on the side.
