It won't fluff like a russet, so be prepared for that. I like to cut
reds or yellows into thick slices, coat with oil (I use olive), season
with s & p and roast them in a hot oven until nicely browned on both
sides, turning at least once (the side that touches the pan is the
side that browns fastest).
