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.

I'm not a big fan of potatoes, but I thought these Pesto Potatoes were pretty good. The potatoes were nice and crispy, and the pesto sauce was flavorful. I would have liked the sauce to be a bit creamier, but overall, I enjoyed this dish.

Not bad! I thought these Pesto Potatoes were pretty good. The potatoes were cooked well, and the pesto sauce was tasty. However, I found the dish to be a bit too oily for my liking. Next time, I'll try using less oil in the sauce.
