Roasted potato

On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. This section does not cite any sources. For roasted potato, the food may be placed on a rack, in a roasting pan or, to ensure even application of heat, may be rotated on a spit or rotisserie. If a pan is used, the juice can be retained for use in gravy, Yorkshire pudding, etc.

During oven roasting, hot air circulates around the meat, cooking all sides evenly. This is not technically roasting temperature, but it is called slow-roasting. The benefit of slow-roasting an item is less moisture loss and a more tender product. More of the collagen that makes meat tough is dissolved in slow cooking.
