Yum, yum, YUM! -
Very different for us, but we enjoyed it a lot. I'm not a huge fan of pesto, but I really enjoyed it in mashed potatoes. I added some fresh oregano and a little garlic as well. Delish! Made for ZWT4 for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers. -
These are very delicious. It combines the wonderfulness of mashed potatoes with the great taste of pesto. We made this with chicken marsala for a wonderful italian meal. I followed all the ingredients per recipe. -
What a deliciously different way to enjoy mashed potatoes! DH and I really enjoyed these the other night as a side to our lamb chops. Loved the addition of basil and pine nuts in the garnish. We will definitely be making this again (when I'm not devouring your garlic cauliflower). Thanks, Rita. Made for ZWT4.

This is one of my GD's favorites. Whenever she visits I have to make these up just for her. TFS
