  • 8 whole potatoes
Meanwhile peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes.
  • 2 cloves garlic cloves
Add the grated garlic and warm a few seconds until fragrant.
  • 16 oz grated canned tomatoes
  • 2–3 berries allspice berries
Add the potatoes, grated canned tomatoes, allspice berries, salt, black pepper, dried oregano and red pepper flakes.
  • salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • crushed red pepper flakes
  • water
  • sugar or honey
Add water until the potatoes are almost covered; with canned tomatoes, a pinch of sugar or honey offsets the acidity.
Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover and simmer about 30 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender and the sauce has thickened.
  • fresh parsley
Taste and adjust salt and sugar; garnish with fresh parsley.
