Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and become tender when cooked. Avoid using waxy potatoes like Red Potatoes, as they tend to fall apart.
- Slice the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. Use a sharp knife or a mandoline to get uniform slices.
- Soak the potatoes in water: This helps to remove excess starch and prevents them from sticking together. You can also parboil the potatoes for a few minutes to par-cook them, which will reduce the cooking time in the oven.
- Use a nonstick baking sheet: This will prevent the potatoes from sticking and make it easier to clean up. You can also use parchment paper if you don't have a nonstick baking sheet.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure to leave enough space between the potato slices so that they can cook evenly.
- Season the potatoes generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for a classic flavor. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them to get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Roast the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the potatoes immediately: Surprise potatoes are best served hot and fresh out of the oven. You can garnish them with fresh herbs like parsley or chives.

Surprise potatoes are an easy and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions.
