    You should boil them a bit in an alkaline water before roasting as well. It breaks down the surface into a starchy mess that crisps up wonderfully while they roast.

      Alkaline water? Do you mean salt water or water with vinegar? I don’t know enough about Ph to know which one makes alkaline water… I think vinegar is an acid, but is salt a base?

        Neither, I’m referring to adding a small amount of baking soda to the water. You’re correct about vinegar being acidic. Table salt is neutral. Sodium bicarbonate is basic and increases the alkalinity of the water.
