All you need to do is roast your potatoes in either an air-fryer or traditionally with your oven. If you have an air-fryer, this is a wonderful opportunity to quickly roast your potatoes since they cook quicker than in your oven.

Crispy Pesto Dressed Potatoes with Pine Nuts make for a wonderful side to your evening dinners. These potatoes are incredibly easy and loaded with fresh flavours thanks to the homemade pesto! 


Scale

Ingredients

  • Roasted Potatoes
  • 1kg white washed potatoes or Dutch cream potatoes, washed with skin left on 
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 
  • Pesto
  • 2 packed cups (50g) fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 packed cup (30g) fresh basil leaves 
  • 1 large clove garlic, peeled 
  • 2 Tbsp (20g) grated parmesan cheese, can also use nutritional yeast flakes for a vegan version 
  • 1/4 cup (50g) extra virgin olive oil 
  • 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to season 
  • 2 Tbsp pine nuts.

Instructions

  1. Roasted Potatoes
  2. Pre-heat oven to 200ºC (400ºF). Or alternatively, if you have an air fryer, you can use this too on 200ºC (400ºF), which cooks the potatoes a lot faster! 
  3. Half each potato by slicing them in half lengthways, not widthways. Then slice each half again lengthways. Place in a large roasting pan or oven tray (or air fryer basket).  
  4. Drizzle over oil and toss to lightly coat. 
  5. Transfer to oven and roast for 30-40 minutes or until golden, crispy and roasted well. If you’re using an air fryer, cook for about 15-20 minutes or until well roasted and golden. 
  6. Toss the potatoes halfway through roasting. 
  7. Pesto
  8. Meanwhile, make the pesto.
  9. In a high-speed food processor, add all pesto ingredients, except the pine nuts. 
  10. Pulse a few times to incorporate then scrape down the sides with a spatula. 
  11. Continue to blend on high speed until well blended and to desired consistency. Set aside. 
  12. Once potatoes are roasted, transfer them to a large heat-proof mixing bowl. 
  13. Pour over pesto and gently mix/toss until potatoes are well coated in the pesto. 
  14. Spoon potatoes onto a serving plate or bowl. Sprinkle over pine nuts, adding more if desired. 
  15. Serve and enjoy! 

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container, refrigerated, for 3-4 days.
