yes use the turkey fat, rub the potatoes in flour first so they crisp up.. baste them regularly...

sure can, but you probably want to cut the turkey juice with a bit of oil and soak the potatoes in cold saltwater for about 15 minutes. watch out for splashes when you put cold, wet potatoes into oil though and save some of the bastings for the gravy. I always add chopped onion, apples and either a little bacon or sausage to my bastings and my family says it's the best.

The quickest and possibly the easiest way to do them is to par-boil them (dry them on kitchen paper or they will spit) and then cook them in a deep fat fryer if you have one. I didn't believe it when somebody told me this, but I tried it and it works a treat!
Alternatively, you can always do it the old fashioned way which is to par-boil them and just put them round the turkey for the last hour of cooking and add the par-boiled parsnips a half hour before the end of the turkey roasting time if you are having them.

You can roast patatoes in your turkey dripping and even water. Cut your patatoes in half or into quarters then place in your oven proof pan and add you drippings but only a quarter or half way up the sides of your patatoes. Then cover with foil or a metal lid. They with roast beautifully as long as they aren't totally cover with the drippings and you have a dark cover over them. My mother taught me that when I was about 9 years old. Good luck.

Possibly, but a lot of water comes from the turkey too, you may be better off with the oil

I always use only sunflower oil for health reasons.
Receipt:
Nothern German roast potatoes (Röstkartoffeln not Bratkartoffeln!)
You take potatoes diameter smaller tha an inch. Cook them, peel them and cool them down for some hours. Turn them in bred crumbs and bake them in the pan in lard ( I'll take sunflower oil for health reasons) up to they are crispy. To make a nothern German crazy serve them with curly cabbage and Kassler.

Naw, do them in the sunflower oil, or olive oil if you have it! Heat it until smoking, parboil spuds, drain and put lid back on pan and shake them around a bit, then slide into the hot fat.
