Roast Potato Salad

In Bhutan I had roast potatoes and chips both hot and cold, as a hot dinner or in a buffet or picnic lunch. Do you know they tasted really good.
To roast potatoes. Make sure you get a variety of potatoes that are good for roasting. Small new potatoes can be good with these just wash clean. Put some olive oil on a metal oven tray and get this hot about gas 7 or 220C. Put on the potatoes make sure they get oil on their skin and sprinkle with salt. You can also add some sliced onions and a sprinkle of dried herbs. They take about 30 minutes. This depends on the size of the potato so just squeeze them lightly to test the texture.
If you use large potatoes peel and cut them into chunks. Put them into a pan and boil for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes start to go soft. Remove and drain. Toss about in the pan so the edges become rough. Put these potatoes onto a tray of hot oil or goose fat is good.( get the oil hot as you are boiling the potatoes, oven at gas 7-8 and 270C) . Make sure the potatoes get oil on all surfaces and cook high up in a hot oven for 20 minutes plus or until they are really brown and crisp.
