Cast iron cookware is ideal for pan-roasting potatoes; since it retains heat so well without getting too hot, it creates a crispy outer crust on the potatoes.
Add dried herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano if you’d like to flavor the potatoes. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/5/55/Cook-New-Potatoes-Step-4Bullet1. jpg/v4-460px-Cook-New-Potatoes-Step-4Bullet1. jpg”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/5/55/Cook-New-Potatoes-Step-4Bullet1. jpg/aid1337358-v4-728px-Cook-New-Potatoes-Step-4Bullet1. jpg",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:307,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:486,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">

Monitor the potatoes closely as they cook, so the water does not boil over the top of the pot. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/9/91/Cook-New-Potatoes-Step-10Bullet1. jpg/v4-460px-Cook-New-Potatoes-Step-10Bullet1. jpg”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/9/91/Cook-New-Potatoes-Step-10Bullet1. jpg/aid1337358-v4-728px-Cook-New-Potatoes-Step-10Bullet1. jpg",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:307,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:486,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">

If you want to peel the potato, start by peeling the center where you drew a line before boiling it. Once you start peeling from the center, the skin automatically comes away.
