I cooked a roast a while back and did not record a lot of details, but there is a picture of it below.
The meat was a little overcooked, but still tasted great. (I was probably busy blogging and did not check the meat as often as I should have.)
I never peel potatoes. I leave the skins on when making mashed potatoes. Of course I scrub them first. The potatoes aren’t mashed real well (I’m not a good masher), and you can see the butter and milk on them, along with the brown potato skin. To me, lumpy mashed potatoes taste just as good with the meat.
