Editor's Note: Again, potatoes. On the whole, Americans tend to serve mashed potatoes with their big meals. The English tend to serve roast potatoes. I happened to have married a man who makes the best roast potatoes in the world. And, as a salute to potato season in the burg, he is willing to share his recipe. It may not sound like much but, if you do it right, wow.
Peel potatoes.
Parboil for 5 mins in salted boiling water.
Drain water from saucepan, put lid on, wrap with teatowel. Shake vigorously for 10 secs, or until potatoes are fluffed.
Preheat oven to 425F.
Fill roasting tin with 1/2" vegetable oil. Warm in oven for 10 mins.
Put potatoes in roasting tin, baste with oil.
Roast for 1 1/4 hours, turning potatoes and basting every 25 minutes.
