Some people advocate par-boiling the potatoes for a few minutes before roasting.
Upon reading this topic that was my first thought: just pre-nuke your potatoes. I do it all the time and it works all the time.I have started microwaving my potatoes first.
One time we went to a restaurant and DH wanted steak fries. They said they didn't have them, but they offered to cut a baked potato in strips and drop it in the fryer, and that worked wonderfully! DH loved them.

Are you, by any chance, Scottish by descent?I wonder how it would come out if you cut a baked potato in strips and then batter and deep fry it.
I don't generally go in for convenience foods as a rule but my guilty secret is frozen "roasties".I've never parboiled for oven roasted potatoes and we're happy. Clearly there's more than one way to make good oven roasted potatoes.
