Peel the potatoes and cut into one inch cubes.
These will need frying for around 15 minutes, first on a lower heat and then for the last few minutes turn the heat up to crisp the edges.
To make the sauce add the passata, garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper, paprika and vinegar, (if you are feeling brave add a few chili flakes or some Tabasco for an extra kick), into a small bowl, and mix together.
