- 3 tablespoons raw unsalted cashews
- 1 garlic clove chopped
- ¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
The Pesto:
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the roasted red bell peppers, cashews, garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Pulse until combined.
- While the food process is running, slowly pour in the olive oil. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
The Potatoes:
- Place the potatoes in a large pot of cold, lightly salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce to medium-high and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Take care not to overcook so that the potatoes do not start to fall apart.
- Drain the potatoes.
- Transfer the pesto to a large skillet and warm the pesto over medium heat.
- Add the potatoes and stir to coat.
- Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with parsley and serve.
