  • In a saucepan, melt lard. Pour adobo sauce and season with salt. Cook over medium heat for 8 minutes. Stir adobo sauce constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • For the chorizo hash: In a deep skillet over medium heat, melt lard and fry until translucent. Add chorizo and fry. Stir constantly until golden brown. Lower heat and add cooked potatoes. Using a masher, mash potatoes to a purée. Mix until completely incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 8 minutes and stir constantly. Remove from heat and set aside.
