    They don’t look great but they definitely look like roasted potatoes… I don’t see what the problem is here

        Cool… So now I’ve seen two pictures of roasted potatoes. Still not sure what the issue is here. Just because they’re not seasoned to your liking doesn’t mean it’s not roasted potatoes lol

          Would you like this whole half of a potato I have baked seasoned only with vegetable oil? No? Why don’t you like my roasted potatoes?!

            They absorb flavors from the roast beef they are cooked with. All they need is a little salt to taste.

          You’re right. Technically one would call this roasted potatoes.

          Quite an achievement, yeah?

          Edit: the downvotes is peak comedy for me. Gotta love it.

        UK Roasties look exactly like the one posted first. They tend to be made by par boiling potatoes and then roasted in some oil or a fat. Not shitty food porn. It’s how they’re traditionally done.

          Ah you’re also from a UK community! That’s everything I need to know.

          Edit: The UK mods should just ban me from their instance because I’m obviously a menace to everything they stand for.
