Chimichurri Potato Soup 5fix Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the potatoes and 1/4 cup salt to a large stockpot fitted with a strainer filled with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Using the strainer, remove the potatoes from the water and set aside to drain.
• Add 1/4 cup oil to a baking sheet and coat generously. Gently dump or transfer the potatoes to the baking sheet using tongs. Smash the potatoes with a potato masher until the tops crack open. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a platter. Top with chimichurri as desired.
• Add the garlic, cilantro and parsley to a medium bowl and stir to combine. Add enough oil for the desired consistency. Season with salt. Set aside.

Steps:

• Combine parsley, cilantro, red wine vinegar, onion, garlic, salt, oregano, hot pepper flakes, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor; pulse a few times. Pour olive oil in slowly, while pulsing a few more times, until chimichurri is chopped, but not mushy.
• Refrigerate until flavors have blended, about 2 hours.

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.
