Potato salad with Truffle and Artichoke Pesto

Step  0: Add the potatoes to a large pan of cold, salted water and boil on a high heat for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain, cool a little, then cut into halves. Mix the Pesto, Vinegar and Olive Oil together then use to dress the potatoes whilst still warm.

Step  3: Fold through the potatoes, along with any dressing that has collected then place in a bowl or divide between plates, depending on usage. Garnish with remaining chives.
