Troubleshooting & Tips

• Dry potatoes? Add 2–4 tablespoons of water or broth before cooking to keep moisture in.
• Want extra flavor? Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese or garlic powder before serving.
• Crispier edges? Transfer to a baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes after cooking.

Storage & Make-Ahead

• Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Microwave or bake at 350°F (180°C) until warmed through.
