Ingredients

  • 5 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into about 1/2-in pieces
  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 6 -7 sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil and minced)
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallots (or use finely chopped yellow onions)
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic (can use more)

  • black pepper
  • 3 cups grated mozzarella cheese (can use more)
  • salt

Method

  • Set oven to 375 degrees,.
  • Place the cubed potatoes in a large baking sheet in one layer if possible.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • In a bowl, mix together sun-dried tomatoes, whipping cream, shallots, garlic, pesto and black pepper; pour over the potatoes and toss gently to coat.
  • Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake the potatoes until fork-tender and the cheese is lightly browned (about 45 minutes).
  • Season with salt.
  • **NOTE** if desired you can sprinkle the cheese on top the last 20 minutes or so of baking.
