The simple trick for extra crispy golden roasted potatoes

This recipe promises restaurant-style roasted potatoes with very little effort: potatoes, a few seasonings, and one small trick deliver a dish that is crisp outside and soft inside. The result is meant to be so addictive that it is hard to stop eating straight from the baking tray.

The ingredient list is straightforward, using 6 potatoes, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, coarse salt, black pepper, parmesan, and parsley for serving. The potatoes can be cut into wedges or cubes, depending on preference.

The key step is an initial brief boil. The potatoes are cooked in boiling water for about 7 minutes, then drained and shaken lightly in the pot. That roughens the surface and helps create the signature crisp crust in the oven.

After that, the potatoes are tossed with the olive oil and spices, arranged on a baking tray, and roasted at 220 degrees Celsius for about 40 minutes until golden, browned, and fragrant. Parmesan and parsley can be added at the end to make the dish feel like it came from a restaurant.
