just wondering if you've sampled the frango chocolates now available at macy's? they were the marshall field's house brand, and macy's started selling them when they acquired field's. they're inexpensive {macy's often discounts them as well} and pretty good, especially the classic frango mints. or maybe they just taste like my childhood.

Wow! Almost any of the above could be mine, but to settle on one for the sake of the contest, here's my current favourite:
For roast potatoes, to be roasted in the pan with a chicken.
Peel the potatoes and slice into pieces somewhat larger than a single bite.
Boil 6-8 minutes; drain; shake the pot to 'scrunch up' the edges.
Place alongside a roasting chicken until done, in oil or goose fat if you have it; top with a little drizzle of oil and some rock salt.

So, the technique is the boil-scrunch-roast technique of what I call 'melting roast potatoes'.
