Roasted Potatoes with Chimichurri Dip

Do you love chips and dips? These Roasted Potato Wedges are an even better option. These wedges are delicious with Chimichurri Dip and just as comforting and more delicious than packaged chips and dip. This vegan recipe will show you a trick for making your roasted potatoes extra crispy, and soft on the inside. Then they are paired with the classic Argentinian sauce of Chimichurri, for a light and tangy treat. Chimichurri is often served with beef, but it’s equally great with potatoes and other foods.

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds blue and yellow potatoes (about 8)
• 1/4 cup avocado oil
• 1/2 teaspoon roasted garlic powder

For the Chimichurri:

• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 4 cloves garlic peeled
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley
• 1 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

To make the potatoes:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Heat a pot of water to hot, not bubbling. Get a large half-sheet pan and a large bowl.

2. Cut the potatoes in half, then cut each half into four wedges. Place the wedges in a large bowl and pour over the hot water. Let stand for 10 minutes.

3. Drain the potatoes, then spread on a kitchen towel and pat dry. Place on the sheet pan, sprinkle with garlic powder, and toss with the avocado oil. Sprinkle with salt and roast for 20 minutes, then flip the potatoes and roast for 20 minutes longer, until browned and crisp.

To make the Chimichurri:

1. In a food processor, combine the onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper flakes. Process until finely chopped, stopping to scrape down as needed.

2. Pour the vinegar in the feed tube of the processor with the machine running, then follow with the olive oil.

3. Scrape the puree into a bowl for dipping.

4. Serve the hot potatoes with the chimichurri sauce. Enjoy!
