Panfried pesto potatoes

First of all thank you for all the support from everyone :).  And also Want to wish all my Muslim readers a very Happy New Year.
I love pesto,  this is a recipe I saw once on TV by a British chef, Jo Pratt and it is a great way to jazz up potatoes.  It is great as a side with roast chicken or sausages or even on its own :). 

500g potatoes
2 tbsp pesto
Olive oil
A red chilli or a dried chilli finely chopped ( optional)

1. Peel and cut your potatoes into large pieces.  Boil in lightly salted till cooked through but not like mushy, just cooked through. Drain and set aside.

2. Heat a large frying pan, and add olive oil, about  2-3 tbsp. Tip your potatoes into your pan and the pesto. Toss around, leave it alone a few times so the potatoes brown a little, then toss again. Stir in the chilli if using and toss it around. Taste, add salt if necessary. 

Serve, goes well with chicken and meat dishes.
