Crushed New potatoes with salsa verde

This potato dish can be used as part of a tapas spread or with the summer barbecue. Add the salsa verde a little at a time if you’re not sure how much flavour intensity you want. If you don’t have a food processor you’ll just need to chop all the salsa verde ingredients finely and give them a good mix.
