Roast potatoes with tomatoes and anchovies

"I love anchovies (I call them 'lil hairy boys'), and I'm always happy to see them on a plate. This is my take on Julia Busuttil Nishimura's recipe from her book Ostro, just adding a bit of heat to the saltiness (I've said cayenne chillies below but chilli flakes or your favourite chilli oil work just as well)."
