Roasted Salt-and-Vinegar Potatoes (another nice side for steaks)

Roasted Salt-and-Vinegar Potatoes (another nice side for steaks)
A friend told me about Cooks Illustrated and Cooks Country a few years ago and I have been hooked ever since. Cooks Illustrated is a beautiful magazine, as appealing visually as it is gastronomically. Cooks Country contains more every day recipes. Both are spinoffs from the PBS series, America's Test Kitchen. This one is adapted from Cooks Country and is a favorite with my boys.
