Ingredients
-
1-1/2 pounds potatoes [small red]

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
Sea salt to taste (about 1/8 teaspoon)
Directions
Provencal Pistou - Makes 1 cup / reserve 1/4 for table.
4 or 5 cloves garlic, peeled
2 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
Sea salt to taste (about 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon)

Potatoes Pistou
Place the potatoes and salt in a large pot with enough water to cover by one inch. Bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are completely tender all the way through when pierced, about 20 minutes.
Reserve 1 cup cooking water then drain the potatoes. Return the potatoes to the pot and smash with a potato masher — you want them to be a bit coarse and chunky. Add a spoonful or so of the reserved cooking water if the potatoes seem dry.
Reserve 1/4 cup of the pistou for serving at table. Pour the remaining pistou over the potatoes and lightly mash in. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the potatoes drizzled with a bit of the reserved pistou and a light dusting of grated Parmesan or Gruyere cheese.
