    I may be a bit late on this one, but the way I do roasties is
    Use red potaotes. Par boil them for about ten minutes, til the outsides are soft and the middles are a bit hard. Drain the potatoes, and put in about three tablespoons of flour. mix it in so th espuds are lightly coated.
    Meanwhile, heat the oil in the roasting tray by putting it empty in the oven. If the oil is cold, it will be absorbed by the potatoes.
    Add the spuds, and cost with the hot oil.
    Cook for about twenty minutes (or the outsides are brown and the insides are soft, and hey presto. perfect roasties.

  • Roast meat = roast potatoes - classic!

    I never bother to parboil my tatties, personally - or peel them. Just a lazy so and so, me! :D
