Scoop them out with a spoon into a colander and let them cool down under running water. In the same pan with water, boil the potatoes for five minutes or until you believe they have gone tender. Drain the water out.

Tip these wedges into the roasting tin and roast in the oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle them for 30 minutes and continue toasting for another half an hour, changing sides so that they are equally toasted.
