Method

Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks.

Place potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with boiling water, add salt, and simmer for 25 minutes until tender.

Drain the potatoes and cover with a clean tea cloth for 5 minutes to absorb steam.

Add the pesto, salt, and pepper to the pan.

Whisk the mixture with an electric hand whisk, starting slowly and increasing to high speed until smooth.

Heat the mash over low heat for 1 minute while stirring with a wooden spoon before serving.
