Easy ONE-POT SUPPERS: Potato Pan-fry

This dish is originally made with chorizo (a large, spicy Spanish sausage). This will add a smoky flavour to this colourful supper. But if you're a vegetarian, you can swap this for smoked tofu or for smoked cheese, or just add cashew nuts at the very last moment.

The combination of these ingredients is excellent: smoky flavour with crispy paprika potatoes and sweety juicy cherry tomatoes.
