Serve fingerling potatoes with mint pesto as a side dish or, for vegetarians, as a main course.

Most people might think of lamb as the classic accompaniment to mint, and pesto as the proper destination for basil. Don’t let such received notions limit you. It turns out mint also makes a fine pesto that goes just as well with potatoes and peas as meat (Basil with lamb is an experiment that will have to wait for another day). We’re using fingerling potatoes because, like pesto, it’s adaptive and versatile.
