Pesto:
1/3 cup pine nuts
2 cups loosely packed flat-leaf parsley leaves

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

FOR THE PESTO:
Preheat the oven to 350F.

Arrange the pin nuts on a baking sheet and toast them for about 8 minutes, stirring after 4 minutes.

Serves 6-8.
My family usually serves run-of-the-mill, drowned in mayonnaise potato salad at cookouts, so I knew that I had to provide an equally satisfying alternative to mix it up a little bit. This is it. The vibrant pesto deepens the flavor of the potatoes and the roasted peppers provide sweet bursts with every bite.
