Spanish Chorizo Potato Salad
Spanish chorizo potato salad is an upgraded version of popular Spanish meal Judias verdes con chorizo. This flavorful side dish is mayonnaise-free and takes less than 30 minutes to make!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound potatoes (450 grams)
- 3 eggs (large), see note 1
- 7 ounces green beans , ends trimmed & cut in halves (210 grams)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 6 ounces spanish chorizo sausage (180 grams)
- 2 cloves garlic , see note 2
- flat-leaf parsley , to taste, see note 3
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar , see note 4
- 2 spring onions or chives, to taste, see note 5
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash potatoes under running water. Leave the skin on and cut into bite-size chunks. Add them to a pot together with salt and eggs. Pour water in so that everything is submerged. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Add green beans and cook for 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile: Fry the chorizo slices in a skillet/frying pan with a little oil, for about 2-3 minutes, stirring from time to time. Add minced garlic and chopped parsley. Stir until the garlic releases its aroma. Pour in balsamic vinegar and let it cook for a minute or two. Turn off the heat.
- After 8 minutes, take the eggs out. Check the potatoes and beans. If ready, turn off the heat (It’s better when the potatoes are slightly under-cooked. They hold their shape better). Drain the water and peel the eggs.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine together cooked potatoes, beans, chorizo mixture (including the juices) and chives. Toss well. At last, add quartered eggs.
- Best enjoyed warm!

Notes
- Small or medium eggs will work just fine. Perhaps use 1 extra when using small eggs.
- If you have small garlic cloves, add 1 or 2 extra.
- I used about ¼ cup of finely chopped parsley.
- Balsamic vinegar can be substituted with red wine vinegar.
- Either spring onion or chives can be used. Chives are best mixed into the salad at the very end. Spring onion can be either added to the pan altogether with garlic or at the end just mixed in.
