  1. Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds.
  2. Boil the potato slices in salted water for about 10 minutes until just tender, then drain and set aside.

Notes

High-quality ingredients make a noticeable difference, especially fresh chorizo and aged cheese. Season generously; potatoes absorb a lot of flavor. Let the gratin rest for 5 minutes after baking for better serving. For variations, swap chorizo with other sausages, add veggies, or try different cheeses. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, and reheat in the oven for the best results.
