  1. In a pot of slightly salted water, boil the potatoes for about 15 minutes or until tender.
  2. In the meantime, whizz the rest of the ingredients in a food processor until nice and smooth.
  3. Drain the potatoes thoroughly, add 2-3 teaspoons of pesto and toss to cover evenly. Allow the pesto to sit on the hot potatoes for a minute or two to let the flavours soak in before serving.
