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
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (Fan 200°C, 428°F, Gas Mark 7) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Cut the potatoes into fries, toss with vegetable oil and spread in a single layer on the tray.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.
- 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.
- Transfer the hot fries to a serving dish, scatter over the chorizo and top with the grated cheddar cheese.
- Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
- Drizzle with brown sauce and serve immediately.
