New, or red, potatoes coated in veggie oil can take up to two hours in a 350 degree oven without turning into bricks, the possibility of which had worried me beforehand. They went very well with the 4-pound lamb roast and the green peas with sautéed mushrooms.

Posted by: cassie-b at April 13, 2009 03:50 AMTry par-boiling them for 5-7 minutes before roasting to reduce the cooking time. Once par-boiled, gently dry them before tossing with oil and seasonings so they still get that caramelized crust in the oven.
