Roasted Pesto Potatoes

There are few foods in this world that almost everyone likes. Roasted pesto potatoes are one of those.

Roasted pesto potatoes are delicious, period

 Think about it - Do you know someone who doesn't love potatoes?  If you do, are you still friends with them?

Just kidding, but also for real.  Potatoes are amazing with very little manipulation in kitchen.  They're one of those ingredients that just need a little oil or butter, to be roasted, baked, or sautéed, and sprinkled with some salt. 

And pure bliss is all yours.  That's what I've done here with these potato morsels.

Next level deliciousness with pesto

And in the spirit of taking things to the next level, I decided to finish these babes off with fresh pesto because I wanted to bring that springtime freshness. 

The pesto ingredients (basil, spinach, nuts, Parmesan, garlic, olive oil) get whirled in a food processor so it comes together in mere seconds. 

Also, I added the spinach because it's more economical than buying more handfuls of basil (unless it's farmer's market season!), and you get some extra nutrition in there.  You can't beat it, folks.

I also recommend buying bunches of basil at the farmer's market because it's so much cheaper than buying the little containers at the store. That is, when it's basil season!

So go grab yourself some baby taters and get roasting!
