Ingredients
Fingerling Potatoes
- 1 ¾ pound fingerling potatoes washed, scrubbed and cut into equal sizes
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- salt and black pepper
Chive Pesto
- ½ cup fresh chives chopped, packed
- ½ cup fresh parsley chopped, packed
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice fresh
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Roasting the Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Place fingerling potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat the potatoes.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes.
Make the Chive Pesto
- While the potatoes are roasting, place the chives, parsley, pine nuts, and garlic in a food processor. Process until finely chopped.
- With the processor running, slowly pour in the olive oil.
- Scoop out and place in a large bowl and add the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of water and stir.
- Leave half of the pesto in the bowl and put the other half in a small bowl.
Potatoes and Chive Pesto
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and add them to the large bowl of pesto and toss to combine.
- Serve with the additional pesto.
Notes
The calories for this are a bit off because you only use ½ of the chive pesto. You can serve it with the rest of the pesto, but it really doesn't need it. Save the pesto and use it on sandwiches!
Nuts - you can use pine nuts, walnuts or almonds.
