Pesto Parmesan Potato Fingers

These Pesto Parmesan Potato Fingers are the perfect side for almost any meal and can be ready after a short 30 minutes in the oven! Made with pesto, dry ranch dressing, and other delicious spices, they will become a new family favorite!

My family loves these Pesto Parmesan Potatoes. Whenever they ask me what we are having for dinner and I say we are having these, they get super excited.

These potatoes are based off a recipe I found on Carlsbad Cravings for Roasted Pesto Bacon Potatoes. I altered the recipe by using russet potatoes instead of red potatoes, leaving out the bacon (although you could certainly add bacon, because, BACON) and slicing the potatoes into thick strips instead of chunks or cubes. Because the potatoes are skinny, they bake quickly. And I’m all about getting dinner on the table as quickly as possible!

You can either use jarred pesto, or you can make your own with this great, easy pesto recipe!

How to make Pesto Parmesan Potato Fingers

2. Add the cut potatoes to the bowl with the pesto mix and stir until potatoes are evenly covered with the mix.
3. Pour out onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F. for 30 minutes.
