Equipment
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs honey gold bite-sized potatoes
- ⅓ cup prepared pesto store-bought or homemade
- 1 tablespoon pine nuts
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 oz arugula
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the {cleaned} potatoes in half. *If using larger potatoes, cut them into quarters. Fill a large pot with cold water until it is 1-inch above the top of the potatoes. Set the pot to medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, add a teaspoon of kosher salt and boil the potatoes for about 13-15 minutes until they are fork-tender.
- While the potatoes are boiling, toast the pine nuts. In a small pan over medium-low heat, cook the pine nuts with a pinch of salt. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Cook until golden brown and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain the water. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before cutting them into ½-inch chunks.
- Place the potatoes in a large bowl. Add the pesto, toasted pine nuts, and shredded parmesan cheese. Stir until everything is incorporated and the potatoes are coated in the pesto. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Gently stir in the arugula.
- Serve immediately, while warm or refrigerate until service. This salad can be served warm or cold.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
