Great way to add some extra flavor! Next time I think I might double the pesto, though! Thanks!

Followed the suggestions of others and doubled the amount of pesto. Nice and easy way to add some flavor to mashed potatoes.

I wanted to make Art Smith's Scalloped Potatoes with Sun Dried Tomato Pesto to compliment a roast but didn't have 2 ovens. This was a wonderful alternative. Using Yukon Gold potatoes will give it a more buttery taste and I used chicken broth instead of milk. Sprinkle a little parmesan on top and yum!

This was another great way to use up our large basil plants. I used olive oil instead of butter and doubled the pesto. I used the 'Simple Garlic and Basil Pesto'recipe from this website. I found they needed a little extra salt (though this may have been due to not using butter). Thanks!

These potatoes were really good. I used red potatoes and just left the skin on. I followed LadyJayPee's advice about using a bit of sour cream. I also used lots more pesto- probably about 1/2 cup. We had this with our St. Patrick's Day meal. My baby could not get enough of these! Everyone liked them.

My daughter made this as part of our Mother's Day meal. The only thing she did differently was to add in some black pepper. Very tasty and all the better because I didn't cook them. Many Thanks.

I just started cooking and this was a very easy and exceptionally delicious side-dish. I used a pesto-basil mixture that worked out great.

Great side dish, and a little different than the same old mashed potatoes. A great way to use pesto.

I don't like Pesto much to begin with, but I tried this recipe anyway because I thought I'd give it another shot-did not like it.

Wonderful! I used the Knor Creamy Pesto sauce packet. It is high sodium, so won't make often but it's a fun change from the standard. (Using homemade pesto would be much lower sodium, but too expensive for our budget!). Served with broiled tilapia & poured the remaining pesto over that. What a treat.

These were good mashed potatoes; I did have to up the amount of milk some, and then ended up putting in some sour cream too. Served them with Beef, Burgundy Style, Buttery Cooked Carrots, & Zesty Marinated Asparagus, all from this website and it was a very nice combination. Thank you!

These were a really nice change from ordinary mashed potatoes. Tastes just like you would expect it to... pesto and mashed potatoes.

Mashed potatoes are always a hit at my house. I loved this pesto version of the classic dish.

Delicious twist on mashed potatoes! I added a little parmesan cheese to the mix, and served it with grilled chicken and veggies for dinner. My husband loved it.

Pretty yummy! I like the flavor of pesto so I used more of it (3 tablespoons for 2 yukon gold potatoes), and a couple of handfuls of pecorino romano cheese, and a couple of pinches of salt and pepper. Great way to use up extra pesto!
