Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb small thin-skinned yellow potatoes (fingerlings), cut in half lengthwise
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/4 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1/2 teaspoon kosher (coarse) salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 cloves garlic, peeled
Additional fresh basil leaves, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F. In ungreased 18x13-inch half-sheet pan, toss potatoes and 1 tablespoon oil until potatoes are well coated. Arrange potatoes in single layer in pan.
  • Roast uncovered 25 to 30 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender and golden.
  • Meanwhile, in blender or food processor, place all remaining ingredients except additional basil. Cover; blend on medium speed about 3 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape sides, until smooth. Reserve 1/3 cup pesto; refrigerate remaining pesto for later use.
  • Toss roasted potatoes with reserved pesto. Garnish with additional basil.
