PREPARATION |
 |
| 1. |
|
Peel the potatoes and then cut them in half lengthwise. Bring some salted water to a boil in a saucepan and immerse the potatoes in it for just 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and cut them into evenly-sized pieces and arrange them in a baking pan that has a thin layer of oil on the bottom. |
|
|
| 2. |
|
Pop the potatoes into a hot oven at 180°C for an hour, periodically checking on their progress and turning them with a wooden spoon. Don't salt them until they have finished baking. |

CHEF'S NOTE |
 |
 |
Baking the potatoes together with the roast will give them a much more hearty flavor. |

For this appetizing menu, brimming with hearty, rustic flavors, we recommend a wine with a pleasant bouquet, slightly sharper flavor and full body, like a fine Rosso Conero. |
