Slice the potatoes in half so they are roughly the same size, to enable an even cooking time.
Place the potatoes in a pan with water and bring to the boil.
Cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, checking whether they are soft in the middle with a sharp knife every so often.
Once soft, drain and leave to cool.
In a large bowl, mash the avocado using a potato masher or fork.
Once mashed, add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, olive oil, chili flakes and lemon juice.
Mix all the ingredients together and taste to check for balance of seasoning.
Tip the cooled potatoes in to the large bowl with the avocado and mix thoroughly until all the potatoes are coated.
Add the spring onions to the large bowl and mix thoroughly one more time.
Serve as a picnic or BBQ accompaniment.
Adjust the quantity chili flakes depending on how much of a kick you want it to have! And if you’re not a fan of spice, then try other herbs like chives or parsley.
