Food dries out in a hot oven primarily due to the evaporation of moisture. As the temperature rises, water within the food heats up and turns to steam, which escapes into the oven. If the cooking time is too long or the temperature too high, this moisture loss can lead to dry, overcooked food. Additionally, the dry heat of the oven can further exacerbate moisture loss, intensifying the drying effect.

Conduction occurs in an oven when heat is transferred from the hot air to the food through direct contact with the oven walls or racks. The hot air in the oven heats up the walls and racks, which then transfer heat to the food items placed on them. This process continues until the food reaches the desired temperature.

Is it best to cook roast potatoes in a fan oven or a conventional oven?

You can do this in either a conventional or a convection oven. If you use a conventional oven, I would rotate the roasting pan half way through the cooking process to compensate for any hot spots in the oven. If you use a convection oven (with the fan), cooking is more even because the fan blows the hot air around the food, but you have to remember to reduce cooking temperatures 50 degrees if you leave the convection function on.
