Ingredients

1.2kg waxy potatoes, such as charlotte, halved or quartered
Olive oil for tossing
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne
1 tsp sea salt flakes
6 tbsp mayonnaise

For the wild garlic pesto mayo

75ml olive oil
2 garlic cloves
100g wild garlic leaves (or use spinach and 1 extra garlic clove)
2 tbsp freshly snipped chives
50g pine nuts
50g parmesan, grated (or vegetarian alternative)

Method

Heat the oven to 200°C fan/gas 7. Put the potatoes in a pan of cold salted water, bring to the boil, then simmer for 6-8 minutes or until tender. Drain well, tip onto a tray lined with kitchen paper and dry well. Toss in a roasting tin with the olive oil, oregano, spices and salt. Roast for 15-20 minutes, turning, until crisp.
Put all the pesto ingredients in a small food processor and whizz until combined.
Spoon the potatoes onto a serving plate. Swirl a few tablespoons of pesto into the mayonnaise, then dollop onto the potatoes. Serve straightaway.
