This quick-and-easy technique of roasting vegetables is most often used in Italy and France. For the best flavour, use a good-quality extra virgin olive oil, coarse sea salt, freshly ground black pepper and herbs such as rosemary or thyme.
Potatoes

Put potato chunks (pommes châteaux are shown here) in a roasting tin. Sprinkle with 2-4 tbsp olive oil, chopped fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper to taste mix well. Roast at 200°C turning once or twice, until well browned, about 45 minutes.
