- Extra chimichurri can be served on the side for dipping.
💡 Tips
- Parboil potatoes 8–10 minutes before roasting for ultra-crispy edges.

- Chimichurri tastes even better after resting 30 minutes.
- This pairs beautifully with grilled steak, chicken, or salmon.
If you’d like, I can also give you a protein-added version (steak or chicken with chimichurri) or a sheet pan all-in-one version for easier cleanup.
