Roast Chicken with baked potatoes

Normally, when i do my chicken roasting i do the chinese way to do it. When i was in Australia, i learned how to make 5 sauces chicken roast with honey and i never did the roasting like how we always saw on christmas or thanksgiving party they have roasted chicken or Turkey which is really beautiful and yummy. So i decided to give it a try.

I got this Recipe from e.How.com and it's quite a straight forward recipe nothing too complicated so here is the recipe
Roast Chicken and baked potatoes
Whole roast chicken stuffed with a bread crumb stuffing seasoned with thyme and parsley.

Ingredients:
·    1 roaster chicken, about 4 pounds
·    butter
·    Stuffing:
·    1/2 cup chopped onion
·    1/4 cup butter
·    1/2 teaspoon dried leaf thyme, crumbled
·    2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
·    2 cups soft bread crumbs
·    1 beaten egg
·    1/3 cup milk
·    salt and pepper

Preparation:
In a skillet, melt 1/4 cup butter over low heat; saute chopped onion for 3 minutes. Add thyme, parsley, and bread crumbs. Stir in egg and enough milk to make dressing moist. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon stuffing into cavity of chicken; close by sewing or with a piece of foil. Rub chicken with butter. Place chicken breast side up on rack in a shallow roasting pan. Roast stuffed chicken at 375° for about 60 to 70 minutes, basting several times. Internal temperature should register 175° when done. Let chicken stand for about 15 minutes before slicing.

POTATOES
Peel potatoes and slice in 1 1/2-2 inch thick pieces.
Dry off on kitchen or paper towel.
Place 3 T olive oil in a second roasting pan.
Place in oven.
When hot, remove.
Add potatoes, shake well to cover with the hot oil.
