Peel potatoes and boil for about 7 to 10 minutes. Drain. With a fork scratch each potato to roughen the surface. Have a roasting pan ready with about 1/2 inch of smoking hot oil, put in the potatoes, and turn to baste at once. Roast in a 425° oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Drain and salt lightly before serving. Yield: 4 servings.
