roasties

Oven-browned potato chunks

Roasties are roasted potatoes, typically cut into chunks and cooked until crispy on the outside: The Sunday roast isn't complete without proper roasties.

The term is casual British English.

Separately, in online misogynist communities, roastie is a derogatory term for a sexually active woman, based on crude anatomical claims.
