   Boil Potatoes

   Place the 650g/1lb 8 oz small potatoes in a pot of cold water. Bring them to a boil, then cook for about 20 minutes, or until they're tender enough that a knife slides through easily.

   Make Harissa Dressing

   In a small bowl, whisk together the 1 tsp harissa spice, 2 tsp olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, and the juice of half a lemon until everything is well combined.
3. 03

   Chop Potatoes

   Once the potatoes are cooked and tender, drain them well. Let them cool slightly, then roughly chop each potato in half.
4. 04

   Dress Potatoes

   Add the harissa dressing and the chopped 4 spring onions to the warm potatoes. Stir gently to coat everything evenly.

   Arrange Rocket

   In a large salad bowl, spread out the 150g/6oz rocket to form a bed.

   Toss Salad

   Spoon the dressed potato mix over the rocket. Toss everything together gently, making sure the rocket gets coated with some of the dressing.
