Chimichurri is a tangy herby green sauce originating from Argentina and is usually served with grilled meats. It’s bright, zesty and fresh and is equally delicious with crispy fried potatoes.

Parsley, coriander, capers, garlic, cumin and chilli make this potato salad a flavour sensation! We’ve made it easy in this recipe and given you a simple chopped chimichurri, so there’s no need to get out the food processor.

Perfect as a side dish for barbecues, it pairs beautifully with grilled meats, fish, or as part of a vegetarian feast.

Clove Kitchen's tips

We've used a bunch each of parsley and coriander for this recipe, but feel free to make up the two bunches with whatever soft green herbs you have on hand - dill, basil, mint, celery leaves or even some rocket would work well. Keep in mind, that basil and mint stems are not delicious, so just use the leaves if you're including those herbs.

Great with a bit of BBQ steak
I am always looking for new ways to cook potatoes and this did not disappoint. I loved the chimichuri sauce which I did in the food processor. It tasted so yummy with the creamy goats cheese and salty capers. This was so yummy and flavoursome

Used gold and white sweet potato. Used Kalamata olives as i didn’t have capers. Added frozen peas and had the dish with risoni pasta.

Made this last night to serve with ribs and a green salad. Its was a huge hit. A few people asked for the recipe. I used dill and parsley, green olives and two tablespoons of yoghurt . Great suggestions for changes. Will make again.
