Why this works

Very energy-dense and high in saturated fat and salt, with moderate protein and some fibre from the potatoes.

Saturated fat and salt. Chorizo and cheddar contribute a high level of saturated fat, while chorizo and brown sauce add significant salt.

Protein and calcium. Cheddar and chorizo provide a good protein hit, and cheddar contributes calcium for bone health.

Potato fibre and potassium. Potatoes add fibre, potassium and some vitamin C, especially if the skins are kept on.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (Fan 200°C, 428°F, Gas Mark 7) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Cut the potatoes into fries, toss with vegetable oil and spread in a single layer on the tray.
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.
  4. Meanwhile, slice the chorizo sausages and fry in a dry pan over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes until the fat renders and the pieces are lightly crisped.
  5. Transfer the hot fries to a serving dish, scatter over the chorizo and top with the grated cheddar cheese.
  6. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
  7. Drizzle with brown sauce and serve immediately.
