Gochujang Papas Fritas with Chorizo is a scrumptious side dish bursting with flavor!

Spring cleaning.

YAY or NAY?

I would assume most of us vote “yay” because the after-winter crusties are the worst. Doesn’t it feel like your walls are covered in snow, mud, dust, and sickness? This is where I should tell you that I am a total germaphobe. Wait. Should I tell you that? I dunno.

I’m definitely one of those people who has to have their house spotless in order to feel balanced. Dirty floors make me want to scream along with door handles. Please tell me I am not alone on this matter. *crickets*

Also, dust. Why must it exist? I have a theory that dust cleaners don’t actually work. I swear one day you wipe down a cabinet and the next it’s dusty again. I think the dust and razor blades folks are in bed together. Just sayin.’

Anyway, enough cleaning talk. Moving along to a better subject home fries. Better yet, Gochujang Papas Fritas with Chorizo. Is there anything tastier than a bowl full of crispy potatoes covered in Korean chili paste, chorizo, and sesame seeds? Wait. If you added a runny egg on top, I might die.

BUT! Before I depart this world you must make these papas fritas. They are a mash-up of Korean and Mexican flavors and will make your breakfast/brunch situation an 11/10. You could certainly omit the chorizo to keep these vegetarian. Maybe add a little cheese on top? You know, get wild.

Or better yet, get wild spring cleaning those floors.
