    But like…

    Why aren’t the potatoes in the sauce?

    That just seems obvious to me 🤷‍♀️

      Even then, those look like boiled potatoes served plain. Toss some herbs on there and roast them for a bit. It’s not hard.

        Naked potatoes mixed in with a hearty sauce are fine.

        Though imo they should be brushed with oil and salt, then roasted (or airfried!) because boiled potatoes are boring lol

          Yeah, I’m of the opinion that you should only boil a potato if you intend to mash it. Otherwise, what are you even doing? There are faster and tastier ways to prepare it.

            You should boil them a bit in an alkaline water before roasting as well. It breaks down the surface into a starchy mess that crisps up wonderfully while they roast.

              I understand, but I don’t want crisp in my curry potatoes 😋

              I wonder which version is correct in japanese/Indian curry recipes? Not that it makes any preferrence wrong, tastes are personal.

              But I could’ve sworn one way is the traditional way and one isn’t… Oh well 🤣

    • Tbh, as a British person, I think the same thing every time is see this meme. Although, I might make it worse

      I’d have it with mash potatoes. Then, its like pie and mash, just without the pastry.
