2. While the potatoes are boiling, dice the tomatoes and finely chop or crush the garlic clove.
3. Drain the potatoes and heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan.
4. Gently fry the potatoes until they’re starting to look golden and crisp.
5. At this point, add the garlic, tomatoes and chilli flakes and cook until the tomatoes are starting to soften and break up (around 10 minutes).
6. Add salt and pepper and tuck in!
