Servings: 4 people

Total Time: approx. 1 hour

Ingredients

2 lbs of small yellow or red potatoes cut into quarters

3 tablespoons of garlic powder

1 tablespoons of minced garlic

2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning

1/4 of a cup of olive oil

Salt & Pepper to taste

Chimichurri Sauce

2 cups chopped cilantro

4 cloves of chopped garlic

Salt & Pepper to taste

1 teaspoon Cumin

1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

1 tbsp Vinegar

2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice

1/4 of a cup of olive oil

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss the diced potatoes in the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and Italian seasoning until all are coated.
• Spread out the potatoes onto a sheet pan. Roast in the oven for about 45 minutes till potatoes are tender and crisp.  Half way into the cooking process, use a spatula to toss the potatoes around so they get evenly browned.
• Do the chimichurri sauce while the potatoes are in the oven. Just mix together all the components of the sauce in the food processor. Process for about 30 seconds.
• Once the potatoes are out of the oven. Let them cool for 5 minutes then while still warm toss them into the chimichurri sauce till all the potatoes are well coated with the sauce.

These are absolutely delicious on their own but also taste amazing with some Steak on the side! Can’t go wrong with Steak & Potatoes 🙂
