You need floury ones (in the UK we have Maris Piper and Rooster, which make excellent roasties, not sure what you have in SA?), but definitely not waxy ones.

I must have got confused. Must say that I'm not entirely sure if I noticed a difference over the last few months that I've been doing it though! Perhaps I'll just carry on and pretend they're healthier without the extra salt!! @Steve – oh dear did he?? I must have got confused.

Just for your info, I remember watching the Heston Blumenthal show 'In search of perfection' and his experiments apparently proved that you shouldn't parboil in salted water, just plain.
