Chimichurri is a herby-garlicky pesto-like sauce that is often served with grilled meats, but I think it goes well with most things! It’s full of parsley, fresh oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, and some vinegar, which packs a lot of flavor into a sauce. Paired with the crispy potatoes, briny kalamata olives, and rich feta cheese, this Chimichurri Potato Salad with Feta and Olives is the side dish of all side dishes. Enjoy!

1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

1/2 tablespoon minced garlic

How do I make this Chimichurri Potato Salad with Feta & Olives?

Step One: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Cut your creamer potatoes in half, or into fourths depending on the size. Place them into a mixing bowl and drizzle over 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil, and some salt and pepper. Mix until the potatoes are fully coated. Place in the oven for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Watch the potatoes closely toward the end to make sure they don’t burn!

Step Two: To make the chimichurri, in a food processor combine 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons vinegar and1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Pulse until all ingredients are incorporated. Then, place the mixture into 1/4 cup olive oil and let it sit on your counter until you are ready to use it. Don’t skip this step - all of those nice flavors are going to absorb into the olive oil.

Step Three: When the potatoes are done, pour them into a mixing bowl, and combine with 2-3 tablespoons of your chimichurri. Then, pour into a bowl and top with more chimichurri, some feta cheese, olives, and fresh dill. Enjoy!
