Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C.
- Place the potatoes on a plate and microwave on high for 7 mins. Carefully turn over, using a pair of tongs, and microwave for a further 7-8 mins until they are soft in the centre. Cook for a little longer if your potatoes are particularly large.
- Place on a tray in the preheated oven to crisp up whilst you make the filling.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the chorizo for 3-4 mins until it releases its oils and starts to crisp up. Tip into a bowl and set aside. Don’t wipe the frying pan.
- Melt the butter in the pan, then add the leeks and garlic. Fry over a medium heat for 8-10 mins until golden and soft. Stir in the crème fraîche and about 25ml water. Season.
- Stir in the thyme, spinach and most of the chorizo. Simmer for a couple of mins.
- Cut the potatoes in half and divide the chorizo and leek filling between them. Top with the remaining chorizo and any oil, plus some extra thyme leaves, if you like.
