When squeezing oranges or lemons first roll the orange on the work top with the palm of your hand till soft. Will get you more Juice.
Also a minuit in the Microwave does the trick.

Put mustard on your tatters before roasting.. I hate mustard but the roasting takes the bitter taste away from the mustard and just leaves a right nice tangy taste to the roast spuds. .. hmmm yummy
