+ 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 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. * This recipe was created by Kelly Mapes of Ft.
