I have never been a potato salad fan – I just cannot get behind the room temp mayo mess. But I do love this pesto potato salad I have been making for years that is a lot fresher and lighter from it’s distant boring potato salad cousin.
This recipe is great for pot lucks, brunches, lunches or picnics!

Pesto Potato Salad
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Serves: 8
Preparation:
STEP 1.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and heavily salt – it should taste like the ocean. Boil your potatoes for 15-25 minutes, until fork tender. Strain and cool in the fridge.
STEP 2.
Make the sauce by combining pesto and mayo. I have recipes for both of these, check out them out via video. You can also use store bought as well. Set the sauce aside.
STEP 3.
Once the potatoes are cooled, slice in half and put in a large bowl. Add the roasted red peppers and pine nuts and mix with the sauce. Taste for flavor, salt if needed. Garnish with fresh basil and refrigerate or enjoy!
