Chopotoes ~ Twice Baked Chorizo Potatoes with a Tomato-Sour Cream Aioli

Servings: 30 appetizers

Ingredients

Twice Baked Chorizo Potatoes

  • 15 small honey gold potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 2 links chorizo sausage
  • ¼ cup onion
  • Sliced cheese Chihuahua or Monterey Jack

Tomato-Sour Cream Aioli

  • 20 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoonolive oil
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • ½ tsp. cumin
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • ½ tsp. Tabasco Sauce

Instructions

  • Cut potatoes in half and place in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt and cumin. Toss to coat all sides. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the potatoes on the foil, cut side down. Bake in a 400-degree oven for 25 minutes, until tender. Allow to cool.
  • While they are baking, remove the casing from two chorizo links. Brown in a skillet. Add the onion and sauté until tender. Allow to cool.
  • Then chop in a food processor, so the sausage has a finer consistency.
  • Once the potatoes have cooled, scoop out the potato using a small spoon. Be sure to leave a rim, so the sides don’t cave in.
  • Place the potato meat into a large bowl and mash. Add the cooled chorizo. It will be a meatball consistency. Press the filling back into the potato shells. (You can freeze these at this point. If you do that, allow them to thaw. Then, reheat the potatoes in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes before continuing on with the next step).
  • Top each potato with a slice of cheese. Place under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese melts. Drizzle with tomato sour cream aioli (recipe below) and garnish with diced tomatoes.

Tomato-Sour Cream Aioli

  • Put the cherry tomatoes in a small bowl. Add olive oil, ½ tsp. kosher salt and cumin. Toss to coat. Place the tomatoes on a foil-lined sheet pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, shaking the pan once halfway through the cooking process.
  • Allow to cool for 20 minutes. Place the tomatoes in a food processor and pulse. Add the sour cream, kosher salt and Tabasco and puree. Pour or spoon onto the Chopoto, top with diced cherry tomatoes and enjoy.
