Tip: We call for convenient canned, crushed tomatoes, but you only need 2 c.; store leftover tomatoes in an airtight (non-plastic) container for 1 week in the refrigerator or months in the freezer.

Note: Look for pre-cooked diced potatoes in the refrigerated section of most supermarket produce departments—near other fresh, prepared vegetables.
