Lesley-Anne’s “Lemony Pesto Potatoes”

The name of this dish is in quotes because you have to say “Lemony Pesto Potatoes” in a Scottish accent … ;)

Boil 1kg waxy potatoes, skins on. In a dish mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of good pesto and juice of 1 lemon. Slice finely 1 red onion. Wash 200g of fresh spinach. Once potatoes are cooked drain, return to the pot and lightly crush with a fork. Add the spinach, onion and pesto mixture to the potatoes and mix well until potatoes are coated. Put on pot lid for a few minutes until spinach has wilted.
