      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?!

        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.
