Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes, cut in 1/2 lengthwise
  • Water
  • 1 tablespoon salt, plus 1 teaspoon, plus more for potato water
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper, plus 1 teaspoon
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh parsley leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 1 tablespoon capers

Directions

Preheat the grill to medium.

In a large saucepan, add the potatoes and cover with water. Salt the water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until slightly tender; about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the water to a bowl and let cool. Season with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of pepper. Arrange on the preheated grill and mark for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Remove to a serving bowl and reserve.

In a small saute pan, toast the pine nuts over medium heat until lightly browned. Remove from the heat and set aside. Cook's Note: No need to oil the pan; pine nuts are coated with oil already.

Add the parsley, oregano, lemon juice, garlic, capers, 1 teaspoon of both salt and pepper, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and the pine nuts to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture forms a smooth paste. Add to the potatoes and toss to coat well. Serve at room temperature or cold.

    For Carol-

    I just watched the show (DVR'd and he did say you could substitute almonds for pine nuts. Hope that helps.

    Keep the great recipes coming Aaron- I was a fan when you were on Next Food Network Star and still am!

    This guy can do no wrong in my book! Recipe #6 of his that I've made and it's delicious! I added some roasted asparagus to the potatoes and it's amazing. Thanks Aaron!

    I have searched and searched and cannot find pine nuts. I think I remember him saying that almonds could be used a substitute. Am I right? I am making all of the recipes from this show for a Valentines Eve brunch. I can't wait!
