Stuff the pocket with the chorizo. Pierce the roast all over with the tip of  the knife. Combine the garlic cloves and oregano in a mortar and pestle, mash together  into a paste, and rub over the roast. Season the roast with paprika, salt and pepper. Pour  the lime and lemon juices over the roast, and allow to marinate, refrigerated, for three to  four hours or overnight. After marinating, remove the meat from the container, reserving  marinade. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven. When  the roast is browned on all sides, remove it from the pot, and set aside. Add the onions to  the Dutch oven, and cook, stirring over medium-low heat four to six minutes. Onions  should be tender but not brown. Return the roast to the pot. Add the bay leaves, sherry,  broth and reserved marinade. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to  low, cover and simmer about two hours. Add the potatoes, and continue to simmer,  covered, an additional 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Add more beef broth if  necessary. Remove the roast from the pot, and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Slice the  roast into 1\/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange the slices on a platter, and surround with the  potatoes. Spoon the remaining sauce over the platter.
