Your friend is a liar...

When roasting, I use a baking tray and cover in foil, shiny side facing inwards and wrap/fold it tightly around the baking tray edges, this is to keep the moisture in. Also drizzle some olive oil on those spuds, they look a little dry ! and season with pepper.
Additionally, after roasting any meat it is very important that you leave it to rest, some chefs would say if you've roasted it for 2 hours, you should let it rest for 2 hours... but at least 30 minutes is a good start. That way it'll be more tender and juicy when you cut it.
