Additional Tips

When cooking the potatoes at the same time as the roast they cook at lower temperature than usual Remember to reduce cooking time if you roast them at higher temperature.

Move the potatoes to a higher shelf in the oven when you get the roast out.

If you add small sausages, small chipolatas are good, to the pan half the cooking time, they will be ready with the potatoes and you have an extra side dish.
