I made an improvement to my roast new potatoes recently
New potatoes, with the skin left on, cut in halves or quarters depending on the size of the potato roasted in walnut oil with salt, pepper and garlic. I ended up roasting them longer than usual which resulted in the nice orange crispiness that you get when you roast king edwards in dripping.

They are brilliant and only take a couple of minutes to prepare.

I'd say these are on a par with them
I might be biased though as these require so much less effort and I'm a lazy bastard.

Cool!
I'm a bit lazy when it comes to food, I tend to throw things in a pot and see what happens or substitute ingredients like crunched up ready salted crisps instead of breadcrumbs etc!

I can recommend using crunched up salt and vinegar crisps on top of a pasta bake
covered in cheese.

mmmm

Ok ok
CHCB didn't put the sausages in soon enough so, through no deliberate action of my own, the potatoes were roasted for longer.

In fairness she didn't put them in soon enough because of my poor estimation skillz.
