  While roast is cooking, prepare little potatoes for roasting. (*Make slices in fingerling or other small potatoes, halfway down - without cutting all the way through. Put into small roasting pan. Combine melted butter and 1 tsp olive oil, pour or brush over potatoes on both sides. Sprinkle with coarse salt.) Put potatoes in the oven an hour before roast is done, everything should be ready at the same time.
