Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  2. Add the potatoes to a large pot of boiling water, cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes then place on a baking sheet and smash each potato with a fork. (You’ll probably need 2 baking sheets for this, or one really really large baking sheet.)
  4. In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, parsley and sea salt.
  5. Brush over each potato.
  6. Place into the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes.
  7. Remove the potatoes from the oven and place in a large bowl, allow to cool for 5-10 minutes, then toss with the pesto, and gently mix in the arugula and green onions.
  8. Serve topped with fresh grated parmesan cheese.
