Best 4 Bbf Potato Salad With Tiny Tomatoes And Basil Pesto Recipes

PESTO POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 20 minutes, or until they are cooked though, but the skins remain intact. Set them aside until they are cool enough to handle. Quarter the potatoes and put them in a large bowl. Add the peppers and the pesto and toss gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and chill.
• Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan over a medium heat until fragrant and golden brown, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. In a food processor, process the pine nuts and the garlic until minced. Add the basil, Parmesan cheese and lemon juice and process until finely minced. With processor on, slowly pour the oil down the food chute. Process until well blended. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

• Mix mayo, chives and vinegar in large bowl until blended.
• Add potatoes and remaining ingredients; toss to coat.

POTATO SALAD WITH PESTO AND BACON

Steps:

• For this recipe, use the tiniest new potatoes you can find; I used fresh baby potatoes from a farmers' market that were about the size of marbles. My potatoes were leftovers, so they were already boiled, but feel free to cook potatoes if needed; it will take longer to make this recipe though.
• In a mixing bowl, place the potatoes, onions, bacon and chives; lightly toss together.
• In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, mayo and pesto; feel free to add more pesto if you wish.
• Add pesto mixture to potatoes and combine; taste. It will need salt and pepper.
• Chill for at least one hour before serving to let the flavours blend; taste before serving as it may need more salt. If desired, sprinkle parmesan over top of salad before serving; it's not necessary but it adds another flavour element to the salad that I felt went well.
• This recipe would easily double, if not triple.
