Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat oven to 220°C.

Spread the frozen potatoes evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are baking, fry the chorizo. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage meat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until golden brown, 7-10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Prepare the sour cream. Mix sour cream, grated garlic, and a few tablespoons of water to make a thick sauce.
Top the potatoes with chorizo, Manchego, mozzarella, and pimento. Bake until the potatoes are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, 10-15 minutes. Drizzle with sour cream sauce and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
