Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the fingerling potatoes thoroughly and slice them in half lengthwise.
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 dash of salt, and 1 dash of black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender, turning them halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
- While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the chive pesto.
- In a food processor, combine 8 tablespoons of chives, 1/2 cup fresh parsley, 1 garlic clove, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and a dash of salt (if desired).
- With the food processor running, slowly pour in 1/2 cup of olive oil until the mixture is well blended and smooth. Set aside.
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds until they are lightly golden and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and then roughly chop the toasted almonds to create a crumble.
- Once the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish.
- Drizzle the chive pesto over the roasted potatoes.
- Sprinkle the almond crumble on top for added crunch and flavor.
- Serve the roasted fingerling potatoes immediately, while they are still warm.
- Enjoy this delicious side dish with your main course!
Tips:
- Ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with olive oil and seasonings before roasting for the best crispiness.
- Use fresh herbs for the pesto to get the most vibrant and flavorful result.
- Toast the almonds lightly before crumbling them to enhance their flavor and add an extra layer of crunch.
- If you prefer a smoother pesto, you can blend the ingredients for a longer time until you achieve the desired consistency.
- Don't forget to taste and adjust the seasoning of both the potatoes and the pesto according to your preference.
