Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes washed, dried, cut in half
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Chimichurri Sauce

  • ¼ cup fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar or lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Put all chimichurri ingredients into a food processor or blender, and blend until all herbs are finely chopped. You can also chop the herbs by hand, to a very small size.
  • In a bowl or zip top bag, toss the potatoes, salt and pepper with the fresh chimichurri sauce. Use about ¼-1/2 of the chimichurri now, and save the rest to serve with your meal. Coat the potatoes in the sauce well, then place the potatoes in one layer on the parchement-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until potatoes are crisp, browned, and tender in the center.
  • Serve immediately with chimichurri sauce.
