This is how i do mine.Part cook them in a pot of water then drain off the water then with the lid on give them a shake in the pot to rough up the outside then chuck in and roast them.They come up nice and crispy.I roast mine in either olive or grapeseed oil though as I dont use dripping.

do you have fan bake? i find that does the best roast veggies without having to boil them up first.

I do mine one of two ways, I par boil them and then shake them in a mixture of cumin, flour and chilli flakes and roast them in oil that has been preheated (generally olive oil).When I am in a hurry I par cook them in the microwave.The second method I use is to pat dry peeled potatoes and then shake them in a bag of seasoned flour and cook them as above in preheated oven and oil.I fan bake at approx 220 initially and then reduce the heat.

yes #8 reminds me that you really need to make sure all the veges are quite dry before attempting to roast them

Keep moisture off them. Use a bit of oil or fat - whatever preference and cook at a reasonably high temperature until golden and crispy.

I've never par boiled them. I just put them in the oven same time as the meat goes in.Just make sure the spuds are covered in oil and some salt.
