Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Saucepan
  • Stirring spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg baby potatoes - halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic - minced
  • 1 can 400g crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil - chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  • Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the sauce. Heat a saucepan over medium heat, add minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add crushed tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and red chili flakes to the saucepan. Stir to combine and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
  • Remove the sauce from heat and stir in chopped basil. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the crispy potatoes hot, generously topped with the tangy tomato sauce.

Notes

For extra crispiness, ensure the potatoes are not overcrowded on the baking sheet.
The tomato sauce can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, enhancing its flavors.
Customize the level of heat by adjusting the amount of red chili flakes according to your preference.
Enjoy this delightful combination of textures and flavors, a testament to the simple joy of well-prepared potatoes and homemade sauce.
