Tips for the Best Crispy Parmesan Potatoes

• Don’t Overcrowd – Spread potatoes in a single layer to allow even crisping.

• For Extra Crunch – Broil for the last 2 minutes of baking.

Storing & Reheating

• Refrigerate – Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat – Warm in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes to retain crispiness.
• Freeze – Not recommended, as potatoes can become mushy when thawed.
