Notes
*Kirsten cooked the cubed potatoes with some olive oil, salt and pepper in a pan in the oven instead of boiling them. I think it adds a little more flavor. I also cooked my chorizo in a pan on the stove top and discharged the liquified fat from the chorizo. **Kirsten used organic sharp cheddar
