Chorizo and Potato Tacos Ingredients:

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 ½ pounds ground pork
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
• 2 tablespoons chopped chipotles in adobo
• ½ teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 12 corn tortillas, warmed
• Tomato salsa, chopped white onion, cilantro and lime wedges, for serving

Directions:

1. In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes with 4 inches of cold water and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes, until tender.  Drain and let cool slightly.  Peel the potatoes and coarsely mash them in the saucepan.
2. In a large bowl, knead the pork with the salt, garlic, paprika, chipotles, coriander, oregano and vinegar. Gently knead in the potatoes, leaving some chunks of potato.
3. In 2 large skillets, preferably cast-iron or nonstick, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the chorizo-potato mixture to the skillets and press into an even layer.  Cook over moderately high heat undisturbed until a crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes.  Turn the mixture in sections and cook until browned and crusty on the bottom, about 5 minutes longer.
