Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
- Rinse the cut potatoes under a cold tap, then pat dry with a clean tea towel. On a large baking tray, toss the potatoes in 1 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp pesto. Roast in the oven for 55 mins-1 hr, tossing occasionally, until golden and crisp.
- Meanwhile, unroll the pastry on its baking paper onto a large baking tray and score a 3cm border around the edge, taking care not to cut all the way through. Smooth the remaining pesto over the inside of the border and top with 4 columns of tomatoes, fanned on top of each other. Sprinkle over the mozzarella, top with a grind of black pepper and drizzle with the extra 1 tsp oil. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 35-40 mins until golden and risen around the edges. Set aside to cool for 5 mins.
- Cut the tart into 4 equal-sized pieces and serve immediately topped with fresh basil, if using, with the crispy pesto potatoes on the side. Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be enjoyed hot or cold.
