💡 Tips for Extra Crispy Potatoes
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best crust.
- Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 20–30 minutes before roasting for extra crispiness, then dry thoroughly.
- Avoid crowding the pan—space allows the potatoes to roast instead of steam.
- For even more crunch, finish under the broiler for 1–2 minutes.
- Add bacon bits or chopped rosemary for a flavor upgrade.
🧊 Storage
- Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Reheating: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 5–8 minutes or roast in the oven until crisp.
- Freezing: Freeze cooked potatoes for up to 2 months; reheat in the oven or air fryer.
