Parmesan Pesto Mashed Potatoes

This recipe is sponsored by Old Home Foods

I LOVE potatoes. Any form. Baked, mashed, sweet, french fries, hash browns, au gratin, I could go on and on. This simple and easy recipe will get a delicious side of mashed potatoes onto your table in no time!

I took a little help from the store and used Old Home’s Premium Mashed Potatoes. They’re silky, buttery, and so delicious just the way they are…but I added a couple simple bold flavors to take this side to another level with an Italian twist! I use store bought prepared basil pesto and fresh grated Parmesan cheese. Basil pesto is a staple pantry item in my house, I use it a lot to add a boost of flavor to many dishes.

These make a perfect side to your favorite protein, and can come together in less than 15 minutes! Enjoy!
