Potato salad with burnt leek ranch dressing

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Toss the peppers in olive oil, season and roast until they start to blister. Turn over, then roast until soft. Remove from the oven, place in a bowl and cover with clingwrap to steam.
2. Boil the potatoes until just tender. Place the pork rashers on a baking tray, drizzle with 1 T olive oil and roast for 15 minutes, or until golden and slightly crispy.
3. Drain the potatoes and while they are cooling carefully, peel. Shake the potatoes in the warm pan to roughen up the edges so they soak up the dressing.
4. Dress the potatoes in the pan and set aside to marinate. Peel and seed the peppers, then place in a blender with the remaining pesto ingredients and blitz. Serve over the pork rashers with the lemony potato salad on the side.
