I am absolutely sitting here drooling! Oh YUM! This sounds wonderful. I'll print this out, and you bet I'll be trying it soon. I have done the potatoes in the oven along with a roast and in the "old" days when our critters had more fat on them I was able to baste the potatoes while the meat was roasting. This was especially wonderful when I'd do a lamb roast and have the oven brown potatoes with it. Thanks so much for the recipe.
Yes mum used to the potatoes with the roast years ago but somehow they did not seem to crisp that well over the years so we started doing them in a separate dish and bingo they then crisped nicely.
