Number Of Ingredients 7

4 (12 ounce) russet potatoes
1/2 cup basil pesto, or substitute tomato pesto
1/2 cup shredded Pecorino-Romano cheese, about 2 ounces
1/4 cup whole milk
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Mash potato pulp with a potato masher, or an electric mixer on low speed. Add pesto, 1/4 cup of the cheese, and the milk; beat until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon the mashed potato mixture into the potato shells. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Place filled potato shells in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with pine nuts. Bake about 10 minutes more or until nuts are toasted. To Make Ahead Prepare as directed through Step 2. Transfer potatoes to an airtight container; cover. Chill for up to 24 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Continue as directed, except bake potatoes for 30 minutes before adding pine nuts.

I wouldn't recommend this recipe. The potatoes were gluey and the pesto was overpowering.

These potatoes were a lot of work for not a lot of payoff. I wouldn't make them again.

I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some garlic and Parmesan cheese to give it more flavor.

The potatoes were a little dry for my taste. I think I would add more milk or butter next time.

I was a bit skeptical about the pesto in mashed potatoes, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors blended together perfectly.
