Heat a large saute pan and add chorizo with salt, pepper, pepper flakes, and cumin. After 1 minute or so when spices are fragrant, add a tiny pinch of vegetable oil and the onions.

When chorizo is nearly finished cooking, add garlic. Saute 1 minute and remove from heat.

While chorizo is cooking, drop potatoes in a 350° deep fryer and cook for approximately 4 minutes or until potatoes are fully cooked.

Transfer potatoes and chorizo to a casserole dish. Sprinkle cheeses and jalapeños atop.

Broil for 1 minute or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
