Roasted Fingerlings with Chive Pesto
Serves 4.

Roasted Fingerlings
- 1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes (that’s the size of bag they normally come in)
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- Big pinch of salt and pepper
Method: To prep the potatoes, just slice them down the middle and toss them with some olive oil and salt and pepper. [ Oil. Salt. Pepper. Done. ]Lay these out on a baking sheet and bake them at 425 degrees for about 35 minutes. Give them a turn every 10 minutes to make sure they are cooking evenly.

Chive Pesto:
- 1/2 Cup fresh chives
- 1/2 Cup fresh flat leaf parsley
- 2 Tablespoons almonds or pine nuts
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1/2 Cup olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Helpful Equipment:
- Mini-Food processor
Method:Once you have all your ingredients, add everything but the lemon juice to a food processor and pulse them a few times. Then drizzle in the olive oil and continue to process until the pesto is a coarse paste. Once you’re done processing the pesto, stir in the lemon juice and you’re all set.
