Roasted Tri-Color Fingerlings & Chimichurri Sauce

As Tom Lehrer sang a year ago, "Spring is here!" [Ed. note: Check the PPS below for the link.] These beauties are in season all year, but I especially love them in the spring time. Have been known to serve them up as a main dish since they take less than 30 minutes to make, but you'll probably want to have them as a side with...anything.

In our house, we drizzle chimichurri sauce on everything from grilled/roasted beef to lamb, chicken, fish, seafood, rice, quinoa, yams, and veggies. Even eggs or avocado toast. Bright, zesty, addicting.
​
NOTE: I have found tri-color fingerling potatoes and at my local supermarket, but if you can't find them, you can use Dutch baby potatoes or yellow fingerlings.

And finally, a quick side note to nominate the BF for a "BF of the year" award [Ed. note: AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE ACADEMY...], as I have been shuffling around with a slipped disc, unable to lift the 60-pound bins I deliver weekly. He has not only helped me dauntlessly for the past two weeks, but with a smile on his face. Could not have fulfilled the orders without him and, hopefully, this roasted potato side with a prime ribeye was an adequate reward for his efforts. MUAH

[Ed. note: Hey nobody tell her I'm happy to tag along. PRIME RIBEYE, people!]

PS: Think these potatoes are colorful? Well check out these pinkalicious deviled eggs as I re-examine family trauma (www.moveablefeast.me/blog/pinkalicious-deviled-eggs).

PPS: Also high on the color charts are these spice roasted carrots with avocado and yogurt, which we bring to you while (proverbially) poisoning pigeons in the park (www.moveablefeast.me/blog/spiced-roasted-carrots-with-avocado-yogurt).

PPPS: We celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a heartfelt Denis Leary ditty and Bailey's Irish Cream Tiramisu (www.moveablefeast.me/blog/baileys-irish-cream-tiramisu).

Number of servings: 4

Ingredients
Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
  • 1 ½ pounds fingerling potatoes (mixture of yellow, red and blue; or use Dutch baby potatoes)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Kosher or sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
​Chimichurri Sauce
  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced shallot
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • ¾ cup finely chopped Italian (flat leaf) parsley

Directions
Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
  1. ​Preheat oven to 450 °F. Rinse and dry fingerling potatoes thoroughly, then slice them in half lengthwise. Toss on a large baking sheet with the olive oil, pepper and salt.
  2. Place potatoes cut-side down and spread out evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes.  At this point, potatoes should be sufficiently caramelized, crispy and fork tender. If not, roast for 5 more minutes. Remove potatoes from oven, and place on rack.​
Chimichurri Sauce
  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine ⅓ cup extra vergiin olive oil, the lemon juice, vinegar, shallot, garlic and 1 tablespoon water. Whisk until blended.
  2. Add the red pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper and whisk again.
  3. Gently fold in the parsley and set aside.

We are leaving for Washington to see the kids. We are inviting neighbors over for a good by dinner. This is definitely on the menu. Rich loves any potatoes, especially colorful ones! Hope we can find these locally.

I can find a variety of colored potatoes even in my Safeway now. I hope you find some, if not, just use baby Dutch yellow potatoes. Have fun in Washington. Safe travels!
