Chimichurri Potato Salad | Food Wishes

[Music]

Hello, this is Chef John from foodwishes.com with chimmy chur potato salad. That's right. We're going to use this famously delicious Argentinian sauce to create one of the tastiest potato salad you've ever had. And while this gorgeous side dish would work in any setting, as I'll explain later, it's especially perfect for outdoor cookouts and picnics.

But before we get to any party planning, we got to peel some potatoes, which for me are going to be

some russet, which I think is the best potato salad potato. All right, once in a while, I'll use Yukon Gold, but no potato variety soaks in a dressing quite like the russet does. And that's it.

Once we have our potatoes peeled and in some cold water, we will clean off our board and then cut these potatoes in half and then each half in half to make quarters. And we want to take our time here and get these nice and uniform since what we're going to do next is take each half and we're going to start slicing across with our knife. Cutting these pieces anywhere between a/4 and a/ inch thick. Right.

For me personally, 38 of an inch is perfect. And for a lot of

the potato salads we've posted, we've simply quartered the potatoes and then cooked them and then cut them up into bite-sized pieces. But for this style of potato salad, we're going to cut the potatoes first and then cook them. And the advantage of that is that our potatoes are going to cook faster. Plus, once cooked, they'll be ready to mix into our dressing without any further prep.
