My Top Tips For Success
- Cut potatoes evenly: Chop into ½-inch pieces so they roast and become tender at the same rate.
- Use a hot burner: A hot oven encourages crisp edges and caramelization. (Test your oven temperature.)
- Finely grate the Parmesan: Use a microplane so the cheese melts evenly.
- Let the potatoes tell you when to flip! Once browned on one side, they’ll release easily with a spatula. If they stick, give them a few more minutes to bake before trying again.
Storage
What To Do With Leftovers
Storing: These crispy roasted potatoes are best when they’re hot and fresh. Store cooled leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to five days.
Reheating: Bake at 450°F for 5-6 minutes with a little oil. (If you want to keep ’em crispy, avoid the microwave).
