Start by preparing the mashed potatoes. Place the diced potatoes in a large pot, add cold water and a teaspoon of salt, then add the bay leaves. Boil the potatoes over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until tender. 2. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and remove the bay leaves. Use a mixer or whisk to mash the potatoes. Add the butter and warm milk, continuing to mix until you achieve a smooth and creamy mash. Season with salt to taste. Keep the mash warm until serving. 3. While the mash cools, prepare the red sauce. In a skillet, heat 20 ml of milk over low heat, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes until they become soft and translucent. 4. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the onion and garlic, mixing well. Add the tomato purée and let the sauce simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Then, strain the sauce to remove the onion and garlic pieces, achieving a smooth texture. 5. Place the strained sauce back on the heat. Dissolve the cornstarch in 50 ml of cold water, then gradually add it to the sauce, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Cook the sauce for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly. 6. In a deep plate, pour a layer of red sauce. Use a spoon to make a well in the sauce, then carefully place the mashed potatoes in the center. Season with freshly chopped basil if desired, for an extra touch of flavor.
