How do you pan fry potatoes without sticking them?

Why do my potatoes stick to the pan when roasting?

Easiest answer is to par boil them before you roast them. What's happening is the raw starch is mixing with the water in the potato and creating a heat activated glue, which sticks your potatoes to the pan. Once the starches are cooked, they lose their ability to absorb water, expand and thicken/act like glue.
