Chimichurri Roasted Potatoes image

These potatoes are a great side dish all year round. They stand up to grilled and roasted meats very well. Sometimes I add a chopped cherry pepper to the chimichurri to add a little heat and color.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds red potatoes, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ bunch Italian parsley, chopped
½ bunch fresh basil, chopped
4 medium garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 420 degrees F (215 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place cubed potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for at least 5 minutes.
  • Drain water from potatoes and pat potatoes dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Return potatoes to the bowl and add 2 tablespoons olive oil and generous pinches of salt and pepper. Transfer potatoes to the prepared baking sheet and spread them out evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned on the bottom and edges, about 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the chimichurri by combining parsley, basil, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Stir together and let sit while potatoes finish baking.
  • Remove potatoes from the oven and transfer to a large serving bowl. Add chimichurri to hot potatoes and mix until covered.
