4.Process mint, almonds, garlic and lemon juice with enough oil to form a loose paste. Fold into the aioli and season to taste.

If potatoes are unequal sizes, cut larger ones in half. You can make the salad in advance and serve it cold, but it is also delicious when eaten hot. The mint pesto dressing is also tasty when stirred through pasta; top with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
