>>>How about roast potatoes? I never hear or see any American talk of eating them. The are the main-stay of the British Sunday Roast. On films and TV shows (esp. re: Thanksgiving) US families are always passing around a huge tureen of mashed potatoes, but never any roasties.

>>Roast potatoes were a regular feature in my house, but my mom spent the war years in England. I make them, though differently than my mother did. She would halve or quarter potatoes, boil them and then roast them. I cut mine quite small, and cook them directly on a sheet with a little oil. I actually like them both ways, but one of my kids really likes the little ones that are crunchy on the outside.

>I put onion powder (or onion salt but onion powder is a healthier choice) on my potatoes.
I usually put salt, pepper and parsley flakes.
