Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes (that’s the size of bag they normally come in)
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • Big pinch of salt and pepper

Chive Pesto

  • 1/2 cup fresh chives
  • 1/2 cup fresh flat leaf parsley
  • 2 Tablespoons almonds or pine nuts
  • 1 large garlic clove
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. To prep the potatoes, just slice them down the middle and toss them with some olive oil and salt and pepper.
  2. Lay these out on a baking sheet and bake them at 425 degrees for about 35 minutes. Give them a turn every 10 minutes to make sure they are cooking evenly.
  3. Chive Pesto: Normally pesto uses basil, but chives work equally well.
  4. Once you have all your ingredients, add everything but the oil and lemon juice to a food processor and pulse them a few times. Then drizzle in the olive oil and continue to process until the pesto is a coarse paste.
  5. Once you’re done processing the pesto, stir in the lemon juice and you’re all set.
  6. Finishing the Dish: Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and toss them with about two tablespoons of the pesto. You’ll probably want to add more, but it’s a good idea to start light with the pesto.
  7. When the potatoes come out of the oven the should be really nicely browned all over.  Serve immediately.
