Pesto Potatoes Ingredients

I get it, you don’t always have time to throw together an incredible side dish from scratch (neither do it). So take a shortcut and make life easier for yourself with these two ingredient pesto potatoes.

All you need for this recipe is the following:

  1. Baby potatoes
  2. A jar of your favorite pesto.

Optional: sprinkle a little parmesan cheese over the top while the potatoes are hot out of the oven. I did this at the last minute and I enjoyed the results but it’s not necessary.

You make a homemade pesto if you would rather, but jarred pesto is just as tasty.

Since the pesto is loaded with olive oil, garlic, basil, salt, and all the other herbs needed to make hummus you don’t have to worry about a thing.
