directions
Step 1
Put the potatoes in a pot with cold water and add some salt. Cover, bring to a boil and boil until fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, cut in half and transfer to a bowl.
Step 2
Toast the pine nuts in a skillet over low heat until just light golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 3
Mix together the mayonnaise, olive oil, pesto, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Step 4
Pour half the dressing over the potatoes and toss to combine. Sprinkle over the pine nuts and stir in. Add more dressing to taste.
Step 5
Cover and refrigerate the potato salad for a few hours. To serve, sprinkle lots of small basil leaves over the top.
