GARLIC PESTO SMASHED POTATOES
Garlic Pesto Smashed Potatoes are the finest potatoes dish ever, made with smashed baby potatoes and a drizzle of delectable garlic pesto. So delicious!
We all enjoy potatoes as a side dish, and I have several delectable roasted potato recipes on my website.
What an incredible texture and flavor combination, made even more fantastic by the creamy and delectable garlic pesto over the smashed potatoes.
I adore how simple these garlic pesto mashed potatoes are to prepare.
After boiling the potatoes, they are smashed flat. The crushed potatoes are then drizzled with olive oil, salt, and black pepper and baked till golden brown.
The next step is putting the garlic pesto over the potatoes, and voila! You’ve created the most incredible, downright delectable, and delicious potatoes.
They are so delectable that I ate an excessive amount.
