    I made the recipe as it was listed and it turned out really tasty. Very simple and easy to make and it didn't require any butter or cream! Definitely a nice way to change up mashed potatoes! Paired well with RR's Garlic Roast Chicken with Rosemary and Lemon!

    I could not believe how much of a difference pesto could make! I didn't like real mashed potatoes until now. Thanks Rachael!

    my husband loved these...i altered the recipe slightly by mashing the potatoes w/a little stock and sour cream to make them creamier, then added just 2 heaping 2tbsp. of pesto -- i also chopped some marinated artichoke hearts which really made it delicious -- lastly don't forget to season w/salt & ground pepper!
