❓Q\A Section
Q1: Can I use regular potatoes instead of baby potatoes?
👉 Yes, just cut them into bite-sized cubes for even roasting.
Q2: How do I make them extra crispy?
👉 Place potatoes cut-side down, don’t overcrowd the tray, and roast at high heat (425°F / 220°C).
Q3: Can I prepare this ahead of time?
👉 You can season the potatoes a few hours earlier, but bake them just before serving for best crispiness.
Q4: Can I add more cheese?
👉 Absolutely! For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of Parmesan during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
Q5: What can I serve with these potatoes?
👉 They pair perfectly with roasted chicken, steak, grilled fish, or as a party appetizer with a dipping sauce.
