They honestly dont look that bad. They just need some more fat and maybe some herbs.

Presentation could be improved but they look like alright roasted potatoes to me

They look unevenly cut, under done, and insufficiently seasoned.

the seasoning i don’t care about, you can just add as much salt as you want at the table and it’s fine, but man they need to go for like at least another 10 minutes.

You put herbal seasoning on the potatoes before roasting so they take on the flavors.
- Swedneck ( @Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de ) 1•9 days ago
…i know how seasoning works, my point is that i don’t care and just adding salt after is still perfectly fine, potatoes are inherently tasty with just a little salt added at any point.

This is the most “English food is spicy” take I’ve read this entire year.
- Swedneck ( @Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de ) 1•9 days ago
wat? most things taste fine with just some salt lol, salt is the universal seasoning, this is basic cooking knowledge.
Other seasonings are great too, but without salt you’ll always have something kinda sad, and salt doesn’t strictly need anything else.

After you’ve par-boiled them, drain them and put them back into the empty pan with the lid on. Take outside (helps if it’s cold!) and lift the lid for a couple of seconds so that steam escapes. This makes the outside of the spuds go fluffy, and it’ll crisp up nicely in the oven.
You can also put some around the meat (if you’re roasting some) and let them absorb the delicious grease.
(Also you’ll need more than that)

I’ll have to try your outside steam trick.
I’m in Canada, so I’m sure that will be very interesting in a couple of months when we’re in winter! The cold does an incredible job pulling out any humidity or moisture.

there’s no way they’re cooked evenly at that size unless they were sous vided ahead of time

Kinda looks like sweet potatoes.
In case it isn’t:
Olive Oil, Fresh Rosemary, Salt & Pepper.
Throw some roughly cut Carrots, Celery Root and an Onion in there as well.
About 30 minutes at 180 - 200 degrees celsius (dependent on oven). Bam! Good eats for you and yours.
If it is sweet potatoes, I can’t help as I’ve only tried them once and didn’t care for them.

I don’t think peeling them helped with their visual appeal…

3.6/5. Not great, not terrible.
