Place the potatoes and bay leaf in a pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil. Cook for 6 minutes, or until just starting to soften. Drain well, discarding the bay leaf.

Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until softened. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, for a further 2-3 minutes, until the chorizo is starting to brown and crisp up in places.

Add the potatoes, paprika, garlic and tomatoes to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the potato is tender. Stir in the chickpeas and cook for a few minutes, until heated through.
