Best Potato


I like potato but I don't like most preparations of potato.  Baked is often dry and require lots of fat to slide down the throat.  Boil is boring unless massive amount of butter is tossed in.  Fried is, well, lingering, let's say.  Mashed is lots of work and more a carrier of butter and cream than potato.  Au gratin is, well, more a carrier of butter and cream and cheese.  My favourite is this--roasted in wedges.  Just a little olive oil, salt, pepper and whatever herbs or spices at hand, or not and in the very hot over it goes.  Crispy like fried, sweet like boil, creamy inside almost like mash and overall tasted like a good potato.
