Using a medium sized saucepan, bring enough salted water to cover the potatoes to a boil. Drop in the potatoes and cook until almost done, but still slightly crunchy, about 5 minutes. Drain and reserve. Heat the oil in a medium size sauté pan or skillet over medium high heat until very hot, but not smoking. Reduce the heat slightly and add the garlic and onion. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is golden, about 2 - 3 minutes. Add the drained potatoes and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally for another 3 - 5 minutes. Add the chorizo, stirring to break it up and distribute it. Cook, stirring for another 5 minutes. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings
