Ingredients

4 pounds red bliss potatoes, peeled

2-1/2 cups arugula

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus 2 tablespoons

1/4 cup walnuts or pine nuts, plus 1 tablespoon

2 tablespoons water

A generous seasoning of salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon

Directions

Scrub the potatoes well, rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Peel and cut into 1-inch pieces. Add to a medium-size pan of water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, yet still hold their shape, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and cool.

Add arugula, cheese, nuts, water, salt and pepper to a food processor. Pour olive oil though processor chute (or add to other ingredients if yours doesn't have a chute), and process until smooth.

Place cooled potatoes in a large bowl.

Pour pesto over potatoes, and toss gently until well coated before serving,
