This hearty warm salad brings together the classic Spanish combination of smoky chorizo and crispy potatoes, making it satisfying enough for dinner. The rendered fat from the chorizo creates a rich base for the dressing, while the soft-boiled 'jammy' eggs add a creamy texture that ties everything together.
Place the halved potatoes in a pot of salted cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10-12 minutes until fork-tender. Drain well.
While potatoes are cooking, bring a separate small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower the eggs in and cook for exactly 7 minutes. Transfer immediately to an ice bath to stop cooking, then peel and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chorizo and cook for 4-5 minutes until crispy and the red oil has released. Remove the chorizo with a slotted spoon, leaving the flavorful oil in the pan.
Add the boiled potatoes to the hot skillet with the chorizo oil, cut-side down. Fry for 5-6 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove from heat.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sherry vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
In a large salad bowl, combine the spinach, red onion, warm crispy potatoes, and fried chorizo.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Divide onto plates. Slice the soft-boiled eggs in half and place them on top of each salad portion. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
