Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 3 medium white onions, sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 16 oz Portuguese chorizo (or chourico), sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp chipotle powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper, or to taste
- 3-4 tbsp sherry vinegar
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400F.
- In a large casserole dish mix together the sweet potatoes, onions, chorizo, and parsley.
- Add the olive oil, paprika, chipotle, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
- Bake the casserole in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is browned and the potatoes are tender.
- Drizzle the sherry vinegar over the hot casserole and serve.
Notes
- Portuguese chorizo: This sausage is a cured, smoked sausage similar in texture to kielbasa. As in it's a bit soft but firm enough to be sliceable before you cook it. There are a number of regional brands available in the US. I use Gaspar's Chourico.
- Parsley: For a nice touch, chop a little extra parsley and mix it in with the sherry vinegar at the end.
- Yogurt sauce: I sometimes pair the casserole with a yogurt sauce. I use 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt, the juice of one lime, and about a tablespoon of paprika. Mix together and serve. (Or switch the paprika for some sriracha if you want some more spice in your dinner.)
