Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Cut the baby potatoes in half (or quarters if they are large) and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Clean and slice the mushrooms into thick pieces and add them to the same bowl.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the potatoes and mushrooms, and season with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss everything together until well coated.
Spread the potatoes and mushrooms evenly on the prepared baking tray. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy and golden and the mushrooms are tender.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the basil aioli. In a food processor or blender, combine the basil leaves, garlic cloves, mayonnaise, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Once the potatoes and mushrooms are done, allow them to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.
On a large platter or individual plates, arrange a bed of fresh baby spinach leaves.
Top the spinach with the roasted potatoes and mushrooms, evenly distributing them.
Drizzle the basil aioli generously over the salad. Optionally, you can serve any extra aioli on the side for dipping.
Serve immediately while the potatoes and mushrooms are still warm.
