Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

24 to 28 ounces small potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon prepared pesto
2 lemons, juiced
Small fresh basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a pot with cold water and add some salt. Cover, bring to a boil and boil until fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, cut in half and transfer to a bowl.
  • Toast the pine nuts in a skillet over low heat until just light golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Mix together the mayonnaise, olive oil, pesto, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Pour half the dressing over the potatoes and toss to combine. Sprinkle over the pine nuts and stir in. Add more dressing to taste.
  • Cover and refrigerate the potato salad for a few hours. To serve, sprinkle lots of small basil leaves over the top.

I love using fresh lemons in this recipe, but when I don't have any on hand, I've used bottled lemon juice in a pinch and it still turns out great.
