3-Ingredient Roasted Parmesan Pesto Potatoes

These roasted potatoes are coated in basil pesto and topped with Parmesan cheese, creating a crispy, flavorful side dish. Quartered red potatoes roast until tender and golden at 400°F, first with pesto seasoning and finished with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan. This simple combination offers a herbaceous, cheesy crust contrasting the soft potato interior.
