Chorizo con Papas

There’s something undeniably comforting about the sizzle of chorizo in a skillet—and when it’s paired with tender red potatoes, it becomes a dish that speaks to tradition, family, and flavor. Chorizo con Papas is a staple in many Latino households, and for good reason: it’s hearty, easy to prepare, and perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes

These wonderful mashed potatoes are inspired by the Lebanese Mediterranean style of cooking. Olive oil and yogurt provide richness and complexity, instead of the usual butter and sour cream. Choose a mild olive oil. Yukon gold potatoes really shine in this recipe! Garlic cloves cook in the pot along with buttery potatoes, mashing up beautifully for yet another savory layer of flavor.
