SUN-DRIED TOMATO PESTO
I went to a market and bought some lovely pesto sauce, which the family loved. The market being so far away and the price or the pesto, meant I had to come up with something myself. So I did and the family love this even more. I have made it both with without the pine nuts, and it tastes great either way. This sauce can be chilled and served as a dip or spread on focaccia, fresh rolls or mountain bread...... our favourite is heated and stirred through pasta. This is so quick and easy and would be great with chicken or meat.. Freezers well also!!!!!!

Tips:
- Use a mandoline slicer to evenly slice the potatoes. This will ensure that they cook evenly. - If you don't have a mandoline slicer, you can use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes. Just be sure to slice them as thinly as possible. - Soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove the starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together. - Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to cook the potatoes. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the potatoes from burning. - Layer the potatoes and pesto mixture in a baking dish, starting with a layer of potatoes on the bottom. - Bake the potatoes for 30-45 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown. - Serve the potatoes immediately, topped with additional pesto and Parmesan cheese.Conclusion:
Scalloped potatoes with sun-dried tomato pesto is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The potatoes are creamy and flavorful, and the pesto adds a pop of color and flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
