Herb-Charged Chimichurri Potato Salad
  1. 1

    Quarter the potatoes lengthwise, then slice crosswise into 3/8-inch thick pieces.

  2. 2

    Put the potatoes in a pot with 2 tablespoons kosher salt and enough cold water to cover; bring to a simmer over high heat. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until just barely tender. Potatoes may be done in 10 minutes or less once the water is simmering, so test early and often—the tip of a knife should slide in easily.

  3. 3

    Drain the potatoes well and let them cool in the strainer until just warm, about 20 minutes; transfer to a bowl and set aside.

  4. 4

    Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, cumin, black pepper, dried oregano, olive oil, champagne vinegar, and salt to a blender or blender cup. Blend until smooth; add the fresh oregano, cilantro, and parsley, and keep blending until you have a relatively smooth purée.

  5. 5

    Pour the mixture over the potatoes and mix thoroughly with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.

  6. 6

    Take the salad out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Stir in the chives, then taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt if needed. Adjust the texture with more oil and vinegar, or add a spoon of mayonnaise for a creamier version.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
