Procedure

  1. Half-boil the potatoes, and drain the water from them.
  2. Transfer the potatoes to a baking dish or pan. Then, place the dish underneath meat roasting on a spit so that they catch the drippings.
  3. Occasionally baste the potatoes with the meat drippings. When they are browned on one side, turn them and brown on the other.
  4. Serve with the roasted meat.
