Instructions
Make the chimichurri sauce
- To a bowl, add chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, chopped garlic, oregano, red paper flakes, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt and black pepper and mix to combine. Cover the bowl with a plastic film and place it in the fridge for the flavor to meld until you need it.
Air fry or roast the potatoes
- Wash the potatoes and pat them dry then cube them into bite sizes.
- Transfer into a bowl, season with smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and olive oil, and mix until evenly combined.
- Spray the air fryer basket lightly with oil, and add the seasoned potatoes to the air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 400F/200C for 15-20 minutes shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time. Cooked potatoes will be fork tender, fluffy on the inside, and crispy and golden brown on the outside
- Baking instructions: season the potatoes and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper in a single layer and roast for 20-30 minutes or so at 385F/190C until golden brown and crispy.
Combine
- Once the potatoes are fully cooked, transfer to a bowl while it is still hot. Pour the chimichurri sauce over the cubed potatoes, toss or stir to combine.
- Leave for about 5 minutes before you serve so that the potatoes can absorb the flavors of the sauce. Serve warm and enjoy!
