Chimichurri Hasselback Potatoes Recipe

A Chimichurri Hasselback Potatoes recipe of roasted to perfection and topped with a fresh herb and garlic sauce to make the most delectable side dish for your table.  Vegan and gluten free! 

I’m finally jumping on the hasselback potato bandwagon with this Chimichurri Hasselback Potatoes recipe.  They are the perfect side dish, or vegan/vegetarian main dish, simple and easy to put together and downright tasty!

Summer is a-coming and New Hampshire’s weather is finally warming up.  All the snow in my yard is gone too!  YAY!!!!

J and I have been celebrating the end of winter by grilling out almost every single night.  I freaking heart grilling so much.  There is nothing better then sitting outside, grilling a bunch of meat and veggies while sipping on a glass…ahem…bottle of red wine.

When we grill out, I like to make a big batch of chimichurri, so I can put it on everything.  Chimichurri is a Latin American fresh green sauce that has garlic, olive oil, and vinegar in it, and lots of finely chopped herbs like parsley, cilantro, and oregano.

In my version, I omit the oregano and add extra cilantro along with fresh squeezed lime juice and minced jalapeños.  Primarily it’s used on grilled meat but it’s great on grilled fish and seafood, all types of vegetables, and even as a dipping sauce for bread.  YUM!!  I will literally use it on everything and anything that is food.

Usually I opt for chimichurri on top of yuca, but I have to tell you, it’s outrageously delicious on top of a hasselbeck potato!  Potatoes taste so damn good with all that fresh garlic, lime, vinegar, cilantro, and olive oil all over it.  This is my new go-to roasted potato recipe to serve with everything!

This Chimichurri Hasselbeck Potatoes recipe are definitely going to replace my normal baked potato side when I want something different for dinner.  Let me know in the comments below if you like them too!
