Pesto Potatoes image

Ever since I discovered a fabulous Peruvian restaurant near my home, I've been on a one-woman mission to hunt out some of this great food. Now, I have to admit this is not on the menu at my local eatery, but it is one of my favourite dishes and apparently from Peru.

These potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

I didn't have any pesto on hand, so I used a different sauce. The potatoes were still good, but I think they would have been even better with pesto.

These potatoes were a bit too salty for my taste, but other than that they were great.
