Ingredients
4 lb. ground sirloin
3 tbsp. sage, chopped
3 tbsp. rosemary, chopped
3 tbsp. garlic, minced
1⁄2 cup mayonnaise
3 tbsp. pesto
8 russet potatoes, cut into bite-sized wedges

- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and pesto. Season to taste and reserve.
- Meanwhile, in a hotel pan, toss potato wedges with olive oil and rosemary to coat. Season with salt and pepper and roast in a 350° F oven until crispy and golden, approx. 40-50 min. Reserve.
