Pesto Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 4 to 6 potatoes , sliced crosswise 1/2- to 5/8 inch thick.
  • Olive oil , as needed
  • Basil Pesto , as needed

Instructions

  • Par-cook the potatoes in a steamer or nuke them in the microwave until they have begun to cook but are still pretty firm. (You can cook them entirely on the grill but it takes a lot longer. The par-cook step helps get dinner on the table sooner.)
  • Heat the grill to high if the potatoes are par-cooked, to medium high if not par-cooking them.
  • Brush both sides of the potato slices with olive oil. Arrange them in a single layer on a grilling tray.
  • Grill until the potatoes are fork-tender and have some golden color, turning the potatoes to cook both sides. Brush one side of the potatoes with pesto and cook about 10 minutes more, until the pesto becomes part of the potato.
  • Serve immediately.
