1. Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 15 mins. Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a saucepan and saute the shallot and garlic until browned. Add the carrot, tomatoes and bay leaf and season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for 15 mins.
2. Preheat the oven to 400u0b0F. Fill a roasting pan halfway with water and place in the oven. Grease 6 silicone ramekins. Drain the potatoes and add to the tomato mixture. Remove the bay leaf, transfer to a food processor and blend. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cream, eggs and basil. Season with salt and black pepper. Spoon into the ramekins and bake in the heated roasting pan for 30 mins.
