  1. Preheat the grill to medium and the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. For the potatoes, combine all the ingredients in a roasting tin; season. Roast for 40 mins, stirring halfway. Meanwhile, put the passata in a medium ovenproof dish. Stir in the oregano, then scatter over the basil and season. Transfer to the oven to warm through.
