presume you are cooking it in the oven then, one could put the potatoes in at the same time yes. i have always done that as i cook all my roasts low and slow.

brine it overnight in 50/50 sugar/salt - say couple of tablespoonsof each and enough water to cover it - they are small so if you want to roast root vege the parboil the vege first - put it all in the pan with a light spray of oil and 1/2 cup of water - allow 1 1/2 to 2 hours at 200 c - turning once - crispy and golden with moist inside.

Sounds good to me, I once had one in the Hofbrauhaus in Munchen Bavaria which was moist and sticky inside and crisp crackling all over the outside and like allot of german food more like a sunday roast for the whole family than a snack for one it is one of my favourite food memories must go back one day. Mind you I had drunk half a dozen of those massive stiens of bier first and was a tad tipsy singing drinking songs with a bunch of germans and the Melbourne Storm Leauge team, what a night.
You can watch video of the episode too.Lots of salt rubbed well into the skin is part of the secret to getting it crispy
