Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups chopped onions

2 pounds plum tomatoes, seeded, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 6 cups)
3 cups (or more) water
1 cup (loosely packed) fresh basil leaves plus 4 teaspoons chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until golden, about 15 minutes. Add potato and sauté until light brown, about 10 minutes.
