Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Preheat your oven to 425 F
  2. Cut your potatoes in half lengthwise, and then cut the halves in half. Chop them into 3 - 4 pieces each depending on how large your taters are. You want good sized chunks. Add the taters to a mixing bowl and drizzle enough EVOO to coat them nicely. Add the pepper flakes and roasted garlic seasoning, toss to combine thoroughly, and transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet. Season liberally with salt and some cracked pepper.
  3. Bake the taters for 12 minutes. Remove the tray, flip, and add the garlic cloves. Return to the oven for another 12 minutes, flip once again, and continue until the taters are golden, crisp, but still fluffy inside. ​
  4. While the taters bake, prepare the pesto. Start by toasting the pine nuts in a dry skillet set to just about medium heat. Monitor them so that they do not scorch. Once they're golden and toasty, remove them from the heat and transfer them to a small bowl. Add the pine nuts, fresh basil, parsley, garlic, grana padano, Himalayan salt, cracked pepper, and pepper flakes to a small vortex blender. Pour in the EVOO and the juice from the lemon. If your lemon is super small, add the juice from the whole thing. Blend until smooth and vibrant. Add additional EVOO or a splash of water if needed for emulsification. Taste and adjust your salt if desired. Transfer the pesto to a small bowl that can be covered in the fridge.​

Notes

  • If you want to save time, you could always open a jar of your fave store-bought brand of pesto. I always recommend fresh when it's a simple recipe like this, but there's no shame in the store-bought game.
  • Servings Vary - It could be a snack for a few people, a small side, or a bigger portion split in to two. I ate the whole thing myself lol
