How to Make Crispy Pesto Parmesan Potatoes

  1. Wash and cut 1 pound of baby red potatoes in half (or smaller, if desired).
  2. Boil potatoes in salted water until tender but not falling apart (about 10-15 minutes). Drain well and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Preheat your broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked potatoes with 1/2 cup pesto (store-bought or homemade). Toss gently to coat all potatoes evenly.
  5. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Sprinkle generously with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Broil for 5-7 minutes, keeping a close eye, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. If needed, broil in batches to ensure even browning.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
