Mashed Potatoes with Chorizo

Ingredients
2 pounds (1 kg) potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
1 cup (250 mL) hard chorizo, chopped
4 tablespoons (60 mL) unsalted butter
1/2 bunch chives, finely chopped
Salt and white pepper to taste

Directions
Cook potatoes in boiling, salted water until soft. Drain and set aside.
In a non-stick, oven-safe pan, render chorizo until slightly brown. Fold in potatoes and gently smash them with a rubber spatula. Add butter, chives, salt and pepper. Mix well.
Sprinkle potatoes with cheese and immediately place in the oven.
