Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is key for achieving crispy potatoes.
• Wash the small white or red potatoes thoroughly. Halve or quarter them depending on their size. Aim for uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved or quartered potatoes with the pesto, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Toss well until the potatoes are evenly coated with the pesto mixture.
• Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Make sure they have enough space to roast rather than steam, which is crucial for getting that perfect crispy texture.
• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, use a spatula to flip the potatoes to ensure they are golden and crispy on all sides.
• Once the potatoes are fork-tender and beautifully golden brown, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a side dish or a tasty snack!
