Roasted Fingerling Potatoes And Mushrooms With Pesto

Type: Vegetables
Courses: Side dish
Serves: 2 people

Recipe Ingredients

10   Fingerling potatoes - peeled
  = (or other small boiling potatoes)
1 tablespoon 15mlOlive oil
  Coarse salt - to taste
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
8   White or crimini mushrooms - stems trimmed
1 tablespoon 15mlPrepared pesto - plus
1 teaspoon 5mlPrepared pesto - divided

Recipe Instructions

Place a rack in the lower area of the oven; heat the oven to 400 degrees.

Place the potatoes in an 8-inch square baking pan and toss them with the oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake the potatoes, shaking the pan every 10 minutes to turn them, until they're just tender, about 30 minutes depending on their size. Check tenderness with the point of a paring knife.

Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the potatoes and mushrooms with 1 tablespoon of pesto. Bake until the mushrooms are hot but still firm, shaking the pan once to mix the ingredients, about 5 to 7 minutes more.

Remove the pan from the oven and toss the potatoes and mushrooms with the remaining pesto. Season to taste. Serve hot, attractively arranged on plates with the chops (see "Veal Chops With Marsala Pan Juices").
