Grilled Potato Salad Recipe

You'll need the hotplate for my grilled potato salad recipe to sear potato cubes to a crisp golden brown. To get the texture right we need to boil the potatoes in order to catalyse the starch breakdown process that takes place when you cook potatoes.

I'm also using chorizo which is a cured sausage from Spain that's flavored with paprika. It's a really useful ingredient to have in the house because it can be used to add an extra dimension to many dishes. The Spanish use it extensively and once you've tasted it you'll understand why, I find it extremely difficult to resist so even when cutting it up it's usually two for the pot and one for me.

This salad makes enough for 4 servings.

Ingredients:-

• 2 large potatoes
• 100g of 4oz chorizo
• 1 lettuce
• Salt and pepper
• Extra virgin olive oil

Method:-

Peel the potatoes, dice into 1cm (½ inch) cubes and pop them in a pan of salted boiling water for 10 minutes – just enough time to start to breakdown the starch with out loosing the texture of the potato. Once done, strain the potatoes.

Chop your chorizo into small cubes and toss it onto the hotplate or grill pan for 5 minutes and then add the potatoes and grill until your potato is golden and your chorizo is crispy.

Make a bed out of lettuce, spoon on some of the potato / chorizo mix, season it and a light drizzle with extra virgin olive oil to finish.
