Peel and wash the potatoes. Cut them into chunks slightly larger than bite-sized. Chop the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper into small pieces. Slice the chorizo into pieces about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches (3–4 cm) thick. Cut the pork ribs into pieces as well.

Heat a large pot with olive oil. Add the potatoes, onion, bell pepper, chorizo, and pork ribs. Sauté everything together, stirring with a wooden spoon for 1 to 2 minutes.

Add the paprika (sweet or spicy), stir again, then pour in 4 or 5 cups of water (or use store-bought vegetable broth).

Bring to a boil and cook for about 30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the broth has thickened. Add salt to taste at the end. This dish tastes even better if you let it rest for a few hours.
