Ingredients
Scale
- 10 fingerling potatoes (sliced in half)
- 2 cloves cloves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- 10 leaves basil
- 1/3 cup frozen or fresh green pea
- 2 tablespoons chives (chopped)
Instructions
- Boil potatoes for about 10-15 minutes until they are soft enough to mash, but still firm.
- If you’re using frozen green peas, thaw them in hot water and microwave for 40 seconds.
- In a blender, add garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, kosher salt and basil and blend until paste like (not for long).
- In a large bowl, add potatoes and pour the dressing over. The potatoes can be used hot or cold, though they absorb the flavor better when they’re warm.
- Lightly mash the potatoes so they’re a little creamy but we still want to leave a good amount of chunks. Add green peas, parmesan and mix well.
- Sprinkle chives and serve warm or cold.
