Cook the potatoes in a pot with water and salt until they are soft and set aside. Boil water in a pot and immerse the cilantro and parsley for a few seconds, remove from the boiling water and place them in a bowl with ice water to stop the cooking, drain and set aside. For the pesto, blend the previously blanched leaves with the garlic, oil, pine nuts, almonds, Parmesan cheese, and coarse salt until you obtain a smooth pesto, set aside. Heat a pan over high heat and cook the potatoes with the pesto until they are completely mixed, serve on a platter to share.
