Best roasties ever? Pic included!

[managedmis]

Well? What do you think?

I think they look a bit undercooked and greasy, but I’m sure they taste great.

Now I want roasties

@Alsohuman

They look lovely, OP, ignore the pps who wouldn’t know a good roastie if they fell over it.

People are entitled to opinions that aren't the same as yours (or the OP's) .. Saying 'ignore the posters saying they're not great.' is very dismissive and patronising and rude.

They look undercooked and soggy to me, and not very appetising, and others have a similar opinion. No-one is 'wrong..' It's called an opinion dear...

I like really fluffy and crispy roasties. The trick is using the right potatoes. I like red skinned potatoes, par-boiled. Give them a good shake in the saucepan with a tablespoon of plain flour to coat and bash them up. Then onto a tray of smoking hot vegetable oil for about 40 mins at 200 degrees, turning occasionally. Never fails.

They're not roughed up or crispy enough for me. Good effort though, I'd still eat them!

I would gladly eat them and would almost certainly enjoy them but my perfect roastie has a more jagged appearance. I want MORE surface area because that = more fat and more crunchy potato wonderfulness mouthfeel.

Can’t believe how salty some of these replies are on the first page of a thread about roast potatoes

I don’t really understand why you’re asking this. They don’t LOOK anything wonderful, no. They look a bit soggy and greasy- not crispy or brown enough.

They might taste really good (eg if they look greasy because they taste completely of beef fat that’s another matter), but we can’t taste them.

So no, they do not look like the “best roasties ever.”

They look cold.

I knew you'd love them

They look undercooked and soggy to

^^

Yes, I shake them in the pan before and yes, loads of veg oil. Also added too much salt, hubba hubba

Some nice colour in places, but they look too oily for me - dab them with kitchen towel?

@ShirleyPhallus

'People are being salty.'

And soggy and cold and sloppy - like the OP's roast tatties.

I hate crispy roast potatoes so the outside looks perfect for me. But the inside doesn't look done enough at all

Just looked at the voting.

Your potatoes got roasted

Need to be much crispier!

Would need to taste them 😋😋 (please 😀)

They look lovely. I think some people criticise just for the sake of it. I’m having roasties tonight.

Mmmmmmm

Obvs I would eat them but I think they could be fluffier. Do you use King Eds? They give the fluffiest roastie IMO.

I prefer them more 'well-done' on the outsides.

They look a bit too Aunt Bessie from the frozen department for me.

I'd still eat them though!

Underdone and oily. My MIL likes to cook them this way too (miaow).

Nope, @Chewbecca, maris piper spuds

They look lovely. I think some people criticise just for the sake of it. I’m having roasties tonight.

If you choose to post on AIBU saying yours is best ever then expect criticism.

They look fine nothing special just average.

Too small. Too oily and not even on all sides. 7 on 10

They look nice, but need to be a bit crispier to be ultimate roasties. Sorry.
