Pesto Potatoes are made with mashed potatoes, gruyere cheese, basil, parsley and garlic.
Ingredients
  • 6 - 8 potatoes
  • salt
  • 1/2 cup milk - approximately
  • 4 oz. gruyere cheese
  • handful fresh basil (about 1/4 cup)
  • handful fresh parsley (about 1/4 cup)
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. Peel and cut potatoes in half. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat until the potatoes are tender. Drain well. Put back in pan and put over the heat for a minute more to kind of dry the potatoes.
  2. Mash the potatoes using an electric mixer. Add enough milk to make the potatoes light and fluffy.
  3. In a food processor, grate the gruyere cheese, throw into the mashed potatoes. Add the butter and let it melt. Add the garlic, parsley and basil to the food processor and process it until it is evenly chopped into small pieces. Add it all immediately to the mashed potatoes. Mix everything in to thoroughly combine.
  4. Put the mixture into a greased ovenproof serving bowl. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
