patatas ala Riojana

found the recipe in a local magazine so gave it a try since we already had the ingredients. when i first tasted it, i was instantly hooked :) yes, that good!
here's the recipe:
ingredients:
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped roughly
1 small onion, finely sliced
2-3 links chorizo, sliced into rounds (bite-size pieces) (substitute!)
1/2 pound floury potatoes (about 3 medium-sized ones) peeled and cubed
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 liter cold tap water

procedure:
(1) warm olive oil over medium heat and add garlic. cook for abt a minute until golden.
(2) add onions and sautee until light brown.
(3) add chorizo and cook until this is also brown.
(4) place the potaoes in the pan and stir to coat with oil. cook for 10 minutes.
(5) sprinkle over the sweet paprika and pour in enough water to almost cover potatoes and chorizo. put lid on pan and bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half.
(6) serve immediately with lots of crusty bread (and red Rioja wine hehe)
