Carrot Top Salsa Verde with Potatoes

Recipe adapted from Tabor Barranti

Note: you don’t need to roast the potatoes. Your new potatoes can also be boiled or pan-fried before adding the salsa instead of roasting. You could also scale up the recipe and add other root vegetables like carrots or beets.
