Ingredients

16 new potatoes, freshly boiled, drained and sprinkled with mint
4 slices bacon, diced and fried until crisp
1 tablespoon basil leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, roughly chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed
7 ounces canned tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon superfine sugar
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 pinch salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon basil leaves, torn

Steps:

First make the tomato sauce. Heat the olive oil in a heavy-based saucepan.
Add in the onions and fry gently for 2-3 minutes, then add the garlic and fry for a further 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
Add in the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, vinegar, salt and freshly ground pepper and basil.
Bring to the simmer, reduce the heat and cook gently for 6-7 minutes.
Cool slightly then blend using a hand or jug blender.
Place the minted new potatoes in a serving bowl, coat with a little of the tomato sauce (reserving the remainder for future use) and scatter with the crispy bacon and basil leaves. Serve.
