Vegetarians Look So Young

Love 'em. Whole different level than the orange ones, lol. Do you have a secret to getting them perfect every time? IME, roasting them (say at 350°F for 90 minutes) it's annoying cooking a bach where some of them have that perfect texture you're talking about (dry like cake with that chestnut flavor, or sometimes even like a fruity, vanilla cereal) while others are still totally starchy or moist!!1
I guess it's pretty dependent on the curing process. But maybe I should try the method where you cook them for sevreal hours at a low temp.

For sure! It was so long ago but if I remember correctly, I steamed them in their jackets on the stove for around 105 minutes to avoid creating “toxic” compounds from caramelizing the potatoes, however, if I were to eat them again, I would bake them. I’m not sure how to get uniform baking if kept whole, I’ve only ever roasted them. Maybe wrapping them in tinfoil? For roasting, I peel, dice and coat them in some melted refined coconut oil, spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven at 425° for 25-35 minutes, flipping them once halfway through. They end up caky on the inside and caramelized and crispy on the outside.

I'm 42 and a vegan and I get told I look good for my age quite frequently. Not sure how much of that has to do with my diet, probably mostly just genetics.

Let's not forget genes.

probably mostly just genetics

What you do with the genetics is a factor, but having them in the first place is the most important.
