  1. Preheat oven to 180°C fan forced. Microwave the potatoes for 5 minutes until tender. Cool and slice. Line a 20 x 30cm slice pan with baking paper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a frypan. Add onion and capsicum and cook over medium heat until onion is translucent and capsicum is softened. Add cumin and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Combine eggs and cream in a large bowl. Whisk until well combined. Add drained corn, onion and capsicum mixture, sliced potato, coriander, and cheese. Season.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Arrange sliced chorizo over the slice and bake for 30 minutes until the slice is set and the top is golden. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  5. Serve with relish, a tomato salsa or a green salad (see notes).
