What you need:
* 4 medium IdahoŽ potatoes, skin on
* 1-1/2 quarts water
* 1/2 tsp. salt
* 2 tsp. canola oil
* 1 (16-oz.) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
* 1/3 c. prepared basil pesto
* 1 medium tomato, diced
* 8 pitted kalamata olives, finely chopped
* 1-1/2 oz. (1/3 c.) crumbled reduced fat or regular feta cheese
* 1-1/2 quarts water
* 1/2 tsp. salt
* 2 tsp. canola oil
* 1 (16-oz.) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
* 1/3 c. prepared basil pesto
* 1 medium tomato, diced
* 8 pitted kalamata olives, finely chopped
* 1-1/2 oz. (1/3 c.) crumbled reduced fat or regular feta cheese
What to do:
1. Slightly trim opposite sides of potatoes; cut each potato lengthwise into fourths, creating four flat ovals or "planks."
2. In a large pot, bring water and salt to a boil. Add potatoes and return to a boil then reduce heat, cover, and simmer 5 min. Using a slotted spoon, remove potatoes to a paper towel-lined platter.
3. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tsp. oil over medium heat. Cook half the potatoes 3-5 min. on each side, or until light golden; set aside on serving platter. Repeat with remaining oil and potatoes.
4. In a small bowl, roughly mash beans with a fork. Add pesto and stir until well blended. Spread equal amounts of pesto mixture on top of each potato slice. Sprinkle evenly with remaining ingredients.
* 2 planks per appetizer-sized serving.
