Cumin potato salad with chorizo and rocket leaves

Cumin potato salad with chorizo – This potato salad is a new and delicious twist of a tradition inherited from my cruise ship life.  New potatoes boiled in their skin, then sliced are accented by bits of chorizo, a smoked Spanish sausage available in any super markets. It’s the Indian spices, potatoes, rocket leaves and chorizo with its subtle smokiness that makes this potato salad so distinctive.
