This gluten free Spanish-style potato salad is the ultimate gluten free BBQ side or summer salad idea! With chorizo, cherry tomatoes, a garlic lemon mayo and dusting of smokey paprika. Serves approx 6 as a side dish.
Place the whole potatoes in a saucepan of cold water. Bring to the boil and cook until tender (approx 20-25 mins depending on potato size!). Prepare the rest of the salad while your potatoes cook to save time!
While the potatoes cook:
Add the chorizo to a small, non-stick frying pan and fry for 4-5 minutes until crisp. (You can add a little oil but the pan will become oily anyway as the fat in the chorizo cooks.)
Make the dressing by mixing the mayonnaise, garlic paste and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix well until fully combined.
Once the potatoes are cooked:
Drain the potatoes. Chop them into halves or quarters (depending how chunky you want your potato salad) and spread out over the chopping board to cool for 5 minutes.
Add the cooled potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Next add the cherry tomatoes and chorizo. Pour over the dressing then mix well with a large spoon until everything is fully coated.
Pour into a serving dish and dust with smoked paprika to serve.

Notes
You can enjoy this potato salad hot or cold - it's a great one to make ahead if you want to get organised for a BBQ or event. It can also be made the night before and kept in the fridge.
Do NOT salt the potato water when cooking - it's important to also keep the potatoes whole as this will stop them from taking on too much moisture, leaving you with a mushy salad.
