Each of us has our own food "guilty pleasure." Sinful pleasures can be caused by sweets, fast foods, cakes, or... roasted potatoes. Yes, we believe this simple snack can be more addictive than chocolate. Preparing them the right way exposes us to greedy binge eating that we can't stop. And you know what? As Lord Farquaad, the villain from "Shrek," used to say, it's a sacrifice we are ready to make.

To make the roasted potatoes perfectly delicious and feel like they're at a campfire, a special blend of spices is necessary. Just salt alone is not enough. It’s worth reaching for the mix described below, thoroughly mixing it with the potatoes, and only then baking them. This is a tried-and-true method—you can trust us. However, we recommend testing it immediately because the taste of these roasted potatoes speaks louder than a thousand words!
