I made this along with Michael's Bisteca Al Fiorentina and they were so good! Perfect combo and my family just chowed down. I'm so grateful that there is a new way to do potatoes! Thanks Michael!




Enjoyed but next time...

My husband and I enjoyed this bread, but I agree with a previous post that is was a little bland. The pesto did spice it up a lot. Next time I am going to add some fresh herbs and incorporate shredded mozzeralla cheese instead of the chunks.




The best little Potatoe side dish ever!

This recipe is VERY easy! I did make slight changes to the ingrediants 9no pesto). I added 1/2 cup green onions chopped finely and 1/2 lime (squeezed over potato mixture. I then followed the rest of the recipe and served with shredded mozzarella cheese and chives on top. It was a BIG HIT! The left overs the next morning we reheated in the microwave and placed a poach egg (cooked in rice vinegar, water and garlic powder). BOY THAT WAS GOOD TOO!




Awesome

It was just ok for me. My hubby liked it though. I think I will just stick to making potato pancakes and top with mozzarella and pesto for him.




A little bland...

I am not sure if I did something wrong, but the dish was a little bland. The pesto definately was a good option.

Much more simple than pie. This is a very versatile item, useful with many plates. The clincher is the fact that my kid picked one up (without any goading) took a bite and proclaimed, "This is good Daddy. I want more." I give it four stars as a "hero" dish and B3 awards it five and a half and recommends a side of ketchup for dipping.

We love pretty much anything with pesto. I made this last night for dinner and served it with some left-over ham, black-eyed peas and mustard greens for just the 2 of us. Yum! we had the remaining 3 for lunch today. I will definitely make this recipe again...soon!

My husband and I just loved these! It is just the two of us, so I used two potatoes, which made one decent size cake for both of us. Also, I had a packet of Knorr pesto sauce in my pantry, so I just used that. I did use fresh mozzarella for the middle of the cake, but I used the mozzarella in a bag for the top. This is one of those recipes you could make every week and never get tired of it!
