Fill a large pot 3/4 full with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add salt to taste and add potatoes
and cook for 10 minutes. Drain well in a colander and set aside to cool. Meanwhile, prepare a medium-hot
fire in a charcoal grill.
Oil six 6-inch squares of aluminum foil. Arrange 3 potatoes on the center of each foil square. Spoon 1
teaspoon of the pesto atop each portion of potatoes and then sprinkle each portion with 1/2 teaspoon of
the Parmesan cheese. Enclose the potatoes in the foil and seal tightly closed. Please the foil packages
on the grill rack about 3 inches from the fire and grill, burning once, until the potatoes are cooked
through, 6-8 minutes per side. Transfer the potato packages to a serving platter. Serve immediately, opening
each package carefully with potholder protected hands just before serving. Serves 4-6.
Cooked in aluminum foil, the potatoes steam while the pesto and cheese form a fragrant crust. When you
open the foil packages, a delectable aroma fills the air.
