FAQs:
Can I make these potatoes ahead of time? While it’s best to enjoy them fresh, you can prepare the potatoes by cutting and seasoning them ahead of time. Store the uncooked potatoes in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking them.
Can I use a different type of oil? Yes! You can use any oil you prefer, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or avocado oil. Each will provide a slightly different taste, but they all work well.
How can I make them extra crispy? For extra crispiness, make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet, flip the potatoes halfway through cooking, and bake them at a high temperature. If you have an air fryer, this is an excellent tool for achieving maximum crispiness.
Can I freeze the leftovers? Yes, you can freeze leftover potatoes. Let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer for the best results.
Enjoy your homemade potatoes, and get ready to indulge in a tasty treat better than fries!
