Ingredients:
- 1 - recipe of Harvest Pesto below
- 5 pounds - russet or Yukon gold potatoes peeled, cubed
- 1/4 cups - butter melted
- 1 cups - milk
- - sauteed ham or bacon strips optional, for garnish
- 2 cups - mixed greens such as turnip, mustard greens or kale chopped
- 1 handful - parsley
- 1 cloves - garlic
- 1 cups - toasted almonds
- 1/2 cups - oil
Directions:
Prepare Harvest Pesto:
In a food processor, combine all ingredients except for oil. Slowly pulse in oil, processing to combine. Set aside.
Place potatoes in 5-6 quart Dutch oven or stockpot and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. Drain.
Meanwhile, heat butter and milk in a small saucepan until steaming (over medium-low heat so as not to scald the milk). Mash potatoes with hot milk mixture until light and fluffy.
Transfer potatoes to a serving bowl; spoon on the pesto and top with strips of ham or bacon, if desired.
