  I use 'sudo-edit'


(with-eval-after-load "tramp"
  (add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
               '(nil "\\`root\\'" "/ssh:%h:"))
  (add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
               '((regexp-quote (system-name)) nil nil)))


(defun sudo-edit (&optional arg)
  (interactive "P")
  (if (or arg (not buffer-file-name))
      (find-file (concat "/sudo:address@hidden:"
                         (ido-read-file-name "File: ")))
    (let ((position (point)))
      (find-alternate-file (concat "/sudo:address@hidden:" buffer-file-name))
      (goto-char position))))
