Ingredients
Salt
3 pounds small red skinned potatoes, quartered
1 cup packed basil leaves
1/4 cup packed mint leaves
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup toasted, chopped pecans
1 lemon, juiced
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup Parmesan
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup olive oil
Directions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook until just tender, about 12 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly.
- Pulse the basil, mint, garlic, pecans, lemon juice, Parmesan, salt and pepper, to taste, and red pepper flakes in a food processor. Drizzle in the olive oil while the machine is running.
- Spoon the pesto into a large serving bowl, then add the potatoes and toss to coat. Serve cold or at room temperature.
