• porzioni: 4 servings
• tempo di preparazione: 15 minutes
• tempo totale: 55 minutes

Ingredienti

1 ½ lbs baby potatoes

1 tbsp olive oil

5 tbsp basil pesto (homemade or store-bought)

¾ cup finely grated parmesan

½ tsp black pepper (freshly ground)

Istruzioni

Preheat the oven to 415°F.

Wash the baby potatoes and slice them in halves.

Thoroughly mix the 3 tablespoons of the pesto into the finely grated parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.

Spread the olive oil over the bottom of a 9' x 13' casserole dish.

Spread the pesto parmesan mixture around the bottom of the casserole dish in an even layer, then place the potatoes onto the cheese, cut side facing down.

Sprinkle the tops of the potatoes with freshly cracked black pepper and the remaining 2 tablespoons of pesto.

Bake for 32-40 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and the cheese is crisp.

Allow the potatoes to cool for 7-10 minutes to ensure the cheese layer stays crispy, then use a metal spatula to separate the potatoes from each other and scoop out of the dish.

Serve warm and enjoy.
