Preheat oven to 425. Toss potatoes with oil on baking sheet and spread in single layer. Roast 45 minutes or until golden and crisp, turning 2-3 times. Season with salt and pepper if desired.

Meanwhile, bring vinegar and sugar to a simmer in saucepan over medium heat. Cook at least 20 minutes or until liquid is reduce by half (this takes a while, I am impatient but it is MUCH better if you wait for it to thicken into a syrup. Stir occasionally.

Serve malt sauce on side for dipping or drizzle over potatoes.
