Peel the red potatoes and cut them in half, then into strips, and finally into small cubes.

Heat a little olive oil ghee in a separate pan on high heat.

Add the chorizo to the pan, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally to crumble it.

Set the cooked chorizo aside once browned.

In another pan, heat a little olive oil ghee and add the diced potatoes.

Cover the potatoes and cook on low heat to steam them through without browning too much.

Stir the potatoes occasionally to ensure even cooking and check for tenderness.

Once the potatoes are tender, add the cooked chorizo on top of the potatoes, including the grease.

Gently fold the chorizo into the potatoes to combine without mashing them.

If desired, leave the mixture on the heat for a bit longer to toast it slightly.

Serve with queso fresco and crema on the side.
