❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use other potatoes instead of red?
Yes! Yukon gold or russet potatoes also work well. However, the texture will be slightly different.
2. How do I keep potatoes crispy after baking?
Serve them right away. If reheating, use a hot oven instead of the microwave so they stay crisp.
3. Can I make these in an air fryer?
Definitely. Air fry at 400°F for about 20 minutes, and be sure to shake the basket halfway through.
Storage and Reheating
-
Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
-
Freezer: Freeze roasted potatoes on a baking sheet, then transfer to a bag for up to 2 months.
-
Reheat: Bake at 400°F until warm and crispy. Therefore, you’ll regain that fresh-from-the-oven crunch.
