Chimichurri Potato Salad
Description
Chimichurri Potato Salad brings together halved baby or fingerling potatoes cooked until just tender and coated in a fresh chimichurri sauce. This traditional Argentine sauce, made primarily of herbs, garlic, vinegar, and oil, gives the potato salad a sharp, herbaceous flavor that contrasts nicely with the earthy softness of the potatoes. The preparation involves boiling the potatoes in salted water, then letting them cool slightly before mixing with the chimichurri to preserve its vibrant taste.
The result is a lightly dressed potato salad that offers a nuanced blend of tangy, herbal, and slightly spicy notes from the sauce, balanced by the creamy texture of the warm potatoes. The salad can be served warm or chilled, allowing it to work well as an accompaniment to grilled meats or as a refreshing side at picnics and gatherings.
Because the potatoes are kept simple and the chimichurri sauce is the main seasoning, quality fresh herbs and good chimichurri make a significant impact. This dish is straightforward, letting the sauce shine through with the potatoes providing a satisfying base.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds baby potato halved, or fingerling potatoes
- ¼ cup chimichurri sauce
Instructions
- Cook the potatoes. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Salt the water (about 2 teaspoons), then bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook the potatoes for 7 to 10 minutes, until they are just tender when poked with a fork.
- Drain in a colander. Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes, so that they're warm but not steaming.
- Mix with chimichurri. Place the warm potatoes in a bowl and toss with the chimichurri sauce. Serve warm or refrigerate and serve chilled.
