Is there some difference between a roast and a baked potato?

Baked potatos aren't peeled.

You forgot late night garbage can banging and beer bottle tossing (had to
threaten to call the police at 1:45 as said course was having homework done
right under Staci's bedroom window).

Roasted potatoes are cut up into bite-size pieces before cooking and
(usually) covered with interesting herbs.

I usually blend rosemary, black pepper and some salt into olive oil and
tossed quartered new potatoes with skin on in the mixture, then lay them
out on a cookie sheet to roast. Yum!

I thought the difference between a roast and a baked potato was obvious:
the first is meat.

You guys are shortshrifting the science department. Dull, I know, but "lawn
management 201" and "Cabinet assembly" are still degree requirements.

I thought potatoes baked in a layer of oil were called oven fries. And that
roast was something done over an open fire not in a closed oven.

Well, if having such a rigid view of the world is what you need in order to
function, then I pity you. As for me, I don't care what you call them, so
long as I like the way they taste and feel good about the ingredients they're
made from. (And often, i don't even worry about the latter.)

Eric, your preparation for roasted potatoes in resp:107 sounds very good.
I'll have to try it the next time I feel up to cooking something
more complex than a can of soup... :)

No open fires in our house, but we've had roast beef, roast turkey,
roast chicken, roasted potatoes, roasted asparagus, etc.

So the word roast has taken on a new meaning? Baked in oil?

I am disappointed at the lack of a bar hopping department at the U of W.
Not that I'm the sort of student they target. :) I'm currently taking a
course on "going camping in Kentucky for four days the weekend before finals
and not flunking your finals".
(There was actually a band that sang a song about not flunking your college
finals. I considered it decidated to me.)

Roast has had the meaning of "cooked in an oven" for hundreds of years.
Roast beef, for example. Roasted chicken. Has nothing to do with oil.

Roast, according to Webster, means to cook by exposing to dry heat (as in an
oven or before a fire) or by surrounding with hot embers, sand, or stones (a
potato in ashes). Bake means to prepare (as food) by dry heat esp. in an
oven. So what makes potatoes roasted rather than baked? I think the term
roasted has taken on some new meaning that it did not have until recently.
Oxford says roast means 'to cook food esp. meat' by exposure to open fire on
in oven. The older meaning is probably the open fire, with bake reserved for
closed ovens. Bake - cook by dry heat (not direct flame) esp. in oven.
At some point people did not have open fires and started cooking meat in
closed ovens but continued to call it roast, since meat used to be roasted
(over an open fire). Bread was never cooked over an open fire, nor were
(baked) beans.

You forgot the part of the story where American restaurants would take
a potato and cut it up and bake it maybe with some oil and some herbs
on it. Then, they would call those potatoes "roasted" instead
of "baked" because they quickly learned that when people thought of
baked potatoes, they thought of whole potatoes. So in this
case, "roasted" means baked *and* cut up.
