Batatas coradas

FVA Portuguese to English Other Cooking / Culinary
Trata-se de um cardápio de restaurante do português para o inglês, do qual a frase que se segue constitui a descrição de um prato de filé:

"Aberto e recheado com queijo gorgonzola, flambado ao molho glace, mel e mostarda, servido com arroz de passas e batatas coradas."

Oliver Simões Dec 12, 2023:
Roast/Roasted roast /rōst/ verb 1. cook (food, especially meat) by prolonged exposure to heat in an oven or over a fire. "Oxford Languages Dictionary" and Google.

Please note in the above definition that the cooking method can go either way: on stovetop or in an oven. (I posted a link under Ana Vozone's answer that shows "batatas coradas" cooked in an oven.)

The question is: Are fried/deep-friend potatoes necessarily roasted? I don't think so. Potatoes can be cooked in a relatively short time. Roasted potato is another story.

according to this site you don't put the potatoes in the oven (to roast), hence "fried", however on other sites I have seen this translated as roast potatoes.

first site quoted:

Frite as batatas em 3 etapas: com a escumadeira, e com cuidado, transfira uma porção de batatas para o óleo quente – a quantidade pode variar de acordo com o tamanho da panela, as fatias devem ficar imersas no óleo, com espaço suficiente para mexer sem perigo de transbordar.
Deixe fritar por cerca de 10 minutos até as batatas ficarem bem douradinhas. Mexa de vez em quando com a escumadeira para dourar as fatias por igual.
Com a escumadeira, transfira as batatas douradas para a travessa forrada com papel-toalha e repita com o restante. Tempere com sal a gosto e sirva a seguir como acompanhamento ou como petisco.

Roast potatoes or crispy/golden roast potatoes (UK)

A cooking method in which potatoes are roasted in some sort of fat, causing them to turn crispy and golden. The adjective 'coradas' refers to their 'flushed' colour.

Although the potatoes are 'roasted', the correct term is the shorter 'roast'

golden roasted potatoes (US)

Batata é comigo mesmo. :-)

corar: Dar ou adquirir cor ou coloração mais intensa, mais viva, por algum processo físico ou químico (uso de pigmentos etc.) ou por pigmentação (no caso da pele). https://www.aulete.com.br/corar

I can't think of a word other than "golden" to describe "coradas" as in "batatas coradas".

Roasting has nothing to do with the cooking method, but rather with the time of exposure to heat:

roast: (v) cook (food, especially meat) by prolonged exposure to heat in an oven or over a fire. "she was going to roast a leg of lamb for Sunday dinner". "Oxford Languages Dictionary" and Google.

Under normal conditions, potato takes a relatively short time to cook. In order for potatoes to get "coradas" (golden roasted), they have to be in the oven or over a fire for a longer time.

I hope this helps.

Sauteed Potatoes

Given the way these potatoes are prepared, not roasted in the oven, but prepared in a pan, I would consider sauteed potatoes a more suitable term.
