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.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 small sweet potatoes, unpeeled, cut lengthwise into wedges
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves with tender stems
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 ounces thinly sliced Speck or prosciutto, torn

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F. Toss sweet potatoes and 2 tablespoons oil on a large rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast, turning once, until tender, 25-30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pulse cilantro, parsley, oregano, thyme, and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. With motor running, slowly add vinegar and remaining 1/4 cup oil and process until combined; season with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon chimichurri onto a serving platter and top with sweet potatoes and Speck.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or baby potatoes are ideal for this recipe. They have a waxy texture that holds their shape well when roasted.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the potatoes are different sizes, the smaller ones will overcook before the larger ones are done.
  • Coat the potatoes in oil: This will help them crisp up in the oven. You can use olive oil, avocado oil, or even melted butter.
  • Season the potatoes generously: Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the potatoes. Garlic, paprika, and cumin are all good choices.
  • Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Toss the potatoes halfway through roasting: This will help them cook evenly. You can also use a sheet pan liner to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan.
  • Make the chimichurri sauce while the potatoes are roasting: This will give the flavors time to meld together. You can also make the sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Conclusion:

These chimichurri roasted potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or weeknight dinners. The combination of crispy potatoes and flavorful chimichurri sauce is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
