Method

  1. Cook the potatoes in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 15-20 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 1½ tbsp of the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic, onion, oregano, chilli and anchovies and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes. Tip the canned tomatoes into a sieve over a bowl to collect the juices. Add the juices to the pan, then the lemon juice and sugar. Cook until thick, then season.
  3. Crush the canned tomatoes and add to the sauce with the cherry tomatoes and the potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes until thickened.
