I almost didn't make this due to comments about browning below. However, I did and am glad I did. The review mentioned it needed seasoning - I added salt and pepper to taste and it was fine;I also added 1/2 chopped Vidalia onion and a few sliced radishes. Got really good reviews - and next to no leftovers. Really, I had people who normally don't like potato salad going for seconds. Make this for your next picnic - guaranteed a hit.

Very disappointed with this recipe. Made it for the first time yesterday for a Fourth of July picnic, and almost didn't take it to the picnic because it looked so unappetizing. I followed the recipe (and video to a tee, and laid on the pesto right after the potatoes were drained. The salad tasted bland. (I think it would have helped had the recipe cited a salt measurement. So I re-salted the salad and that helped a bit. Then I put it in the fridge to meld the flavors and the pesto turned brown, and--not surprisingly--the oil congealed. Yuck. At room temperature, the salad tasted slightly more appetizing, but it wasn't that good.

Having said all this, I will say that the pesto itself was marvelous. The addition of mint, lemon, and red pepper flakes was inspired, and I will make the pesto again and again for use as a sauce for pasta and fish. But with potatoes, it didn't work for me.

Absolutely fabulous! I'll never again make a "typical" potato salad now that I found this recipe!

I saw this episode on tv and knew I had to try the recipe. If you like pesto, you will love this recipe. I was eating the potatoes while they were still warm. I followed the recipe pretty much to the t and the flavors of the cheese, basil and pepper flakes really came through.

This is a great salad. I had it warm as a side dish and it was delicious that way. I added the juice of 2 lemons, which made it tart, but good. Living in hot Florida, this is now my go-to dish for outdoor picnics!

This was an amazing healthier potato salad! I would just increase the amount of pesto so the potatoes are coated a little more evenly. Even the following morning I quickly sautéed them and made delicious home fries!

What a completely new take on potato salad, not at all the mustardy stuff my mom used to make (i liked it, but i didn't LOVE it. It was excellent with the tangy pork chops from the same show.
