Jersey royal tortilla with aioli and padrón peppers

This isn’t a classic Spanish tortilla, but it’s weeknight-speedy and using jersey royals gives it an edge. Smashing the potatoes gives you a nice bit of crispy texture, making this a spectacular dish – despite it needing just a handful of ingredients.
The wild garlic pesto mayo in this recipe also makes a delicious accompaniment to your tortilla.

Wild garlic is in season at the same time as jersey royals. If you’ve found some wild garlic on your travels, some finely chopped leaves folded into the mayonnaise turns this into a supremely seasonal treat.
Padrón peppers are named after the town of Padrón in Galicia, northwest Spain, thought to have been brought there from South America by Franciscan monks. They’ve conquered the world with their Russian roulette quality – the odd one is fiery hot. The ones you buy in supermarkets often lack a hot pepper, but Natoora (from Ocado) sells the real deal.
