To prepare Papas con Chorizo, simply follow these uncomplicated steps:

1. Boil Potatoes: Place the diced potatoes in a pot of salted water and boil until tender, approximately 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook Chorizo: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.

3. Add Onion and Garlic: Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until the onion is translucent.

4. Combine Potatoes: Add the drained potatoes to the skillet with the chorizo mix. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

5. Season: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and paprika (if using) over the mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the potatoes to crisp slightly.

6. Garnish: Once everything is well-mixed and heated through, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

7. Serve Hot: Remove from heat, and it’s ready to be served.
