Pesto Potatoes Recipe (2024)

Such an easy and tasty side dish that goes great with almost anything! Our pesto potatoes recipe is so good with that wonderful garlicky pesto flavor.

Potatoes are always an easy side dish to throw together to add to a meal. Plus you can make them in quite a few different ways!

With this roasted potatoes recipe, it develops a lot of great flavor from the pesto sauce. And to knock the flavor out of the park, we even make them up ahead of time and throw the potatoes in the fridge to let them marinate even more in the pesto.

Since potatoes are so versatile, we have a lot of great recipes staring all different kinds of potatoes. Some fan-favorite recipes are our barbecue pork baked sweet potatoes, twice baked bacon and chive sweet potatoes, skillet red potatoes and our smashed Italian red potatoes recipe. Let’s be real, you can never go wrong with potatoes.

Take a look below to be prepared with exactly what you will need for this easy side dish!

Ingredients for easy roasted potatoes:

1. Medium russet potatoes
2. Jar of pesto sauce
3. Parmesan cheese

You can also make your own pesto if you have enough on your basil plant at home. I normally grab a plant at the grocery store and then have so much leftover and it just keeps going! If you need a tasty recipe to try, take a look at this easy homemade pesto recipe from The Salty Marshmallow.

TIME TO MAKE THIS SIMPLE YET DELICIOUS PESTO RECIPE!

Start this recipe by preheating the oven to 450 degrees

Fahrenheit.

Then scrub your russet potatoes (no peeling necessary) and then cut the potatoes into large cubes.

Next, in your large ziplock bag, add in the cut-up potatoes and the pesto sauce.

Shake everything together to make sure that all of the potatoes get covered in the pesto sauce.

PRO TIP: If you want to enhance the flavor of the potatoes even more you can throw the bag in the fridge for a few hours and let them marinate! But it is not 100% necessary for this recipe, they will still taste great if you don’t.

Now, pour all the contents onto the baking sheet and spread the potatoes out evenly.

Once that is done, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top and place them into the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are golden.

DO YOU NEED TO HAVE RUSSET POTATOES?

No, you do not! These would work great with redskin potatoes or Yukon golds as well! Or really any potato for that matter. If you ask me all potatoes are delicious and would work well with this recipe!
