I've lived in the US for over 15 years and can count on one hand the times I've been served roasted potatoes. Meanwhile baked potatoes are everywhere
Could totally be a regional thing though
Maybe. I've lived in the US for nearly 40 years, and roasted potatoes are served 3 nights a week here.

So, googling roasted potatoes shows me the little bite sized potatoes which I've had plenty of times, I was referring more to a larger potato that's skinned and roasted (which was pretty typical in the UK)
Sounds awful, to be honest, but okay. Does Google have pics/recipes for your roasted potato?

Aren't all the nutrients found in the skin though? Why remove it?

Only meaningful loss of nutrition is fiber by skinning your potatoes.

British people call fish and chips "ocean meat and french fried potatoes."
I do not receive notifications, so using the @ feature will not do anything. I might see your post and respond though if I have already been in the topic.
