My sister's favourite!!

Viazi vya rojo - potatoes in tomato sauce have been one of my sisters favourite recipe since I can remember. She loves the simple recipes and this is one of the simplest recipes to make. A lot people who have had a picnic at the beach, have included this in their picnic basket. You can add a variation as to the level of heat your taste buds can handle.
