Roasted Potatoes with Green Pesto Sauce

by Irene Lindvall


Chicken pot pies were on tap for tonight and as you can tell by the title of this entry that didn't happen. I planned on making pot pies plus the potatoes until I got started and realized I didn't have two key ingredients for the pot pies and that I was going to need a lot of oven time at two different temperatures. So...I decided to make the one where I had all the ingredients. The pesto sauce was incredibly tasty and I liked the idea of having "green juice" and pine nuts as the base. On an honest note, I've never roasted potatoes before. I found a recipe online that seemed easy enough and then I read the first review about how to make it even better. I went with that option (minus the herbs because of the pesto). Yum.

Things I learned from this recipe:

I don't have two ovens. :(

Pesto keeps getting better.

Would I make this recipe again?:

Definitely.
