Cut the potatoes into small cubes and rinse them until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

In a pot, add the cubed potatoes and cover with cold water, then add sea salt.

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes for 7-10 minutes, ensuring they are not fully cooked.

Drain the potatoes well and set aside.

In a skillet, heat about 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil until hot.

Add the chorizo sausage to the skillet, removing the casing, and break it up with a spatula to ensure it cooks evenly.

Cook the chorizo until it is well browned, stirring occasionally.

While the chorizo cooks, chop a small amount of onion to add later.

Once the chorizo is browned, check the oil in the pan; if there is too much, pour some out, but leave enough to fry the potatoes.

Add the drained potatoes to the skillet with the chorizo and fry until golden brown, mixing well to combine.

Optionally, add chopped onion to the potatoes as they fry, cooking until the onion is soft and the potatoes are crispy.
