Directions

Cook the potatoes for 3 minutes in boiling water.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and cook the potatoes, in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan.
Cook the potatoes until golden brown all over - around 8 minutes, then drain on kitchen paper. Season with salt.
Combine the parsley, chilli flakes, red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, oregano and some salt and mix well. Set aside.
Cook the Iberico pork slices for a minute or two each side, either on a hot BBQ or griddle pan. Season lightly with salt and pepper, and serve with the chimichurri and saute potatoes.
