Ingredients for Chorizo and Potato Hash

Instructions

  1. Begin by preheating your air fryer to 200°C (390°F). This will ensure that the hash starts cooking immediately, resulting in the crispiest texture possible.
  2. While the air fryer preheats, prepare your ingredients. Dice the chorizo into bite-sized pieces, chop the red onion finely, and cut the new potatoes into 1cm cubes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, chopped onion, and diced chorizo. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure even coating.
  4. Transfer the mixture into the air fryer basket, ensuring an even layer for uniform cooking.
  5. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure all sides become crispy and golden. Your hash is ready when the potatoes are fork-tender and the chorizo has a crispy exterior.
  6. Once cooked, carefully remove the hash from the air fryer and transfer it onto a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
