sTORAGE OPTIONS
No matter how many times I make these Roasted Garlic Butter Parmesan Potatoes, I always wind up with a few tempting leftovers—because, let’s face it, they’re impossible to resist! But if you do manage to set some aside, here’s how to store them to keep every bite just as irresistible as the first.
REFRIGERATOR:
If you’re planning to enjoy your leftover potatoes within a few days, let them cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. Tuck them in the fridge, where they’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days. When it’s time to reheat, pop them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes, or until they’re crispy on the outside and steamy inside.
FREEZER:
Want to save those golden morsels for a rainy day? The freezer is your best friend! Once they’re cooled, arrange the potatoes on a parchment-lined tray so they don’t stick together, then freeze until solid (about 1–2 hours). Transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container, and they’ll keep their flavor for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge or heat them straight from frozen—just place them on a baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway, until they’re beautifully crisp again.
Trust me, you’ll be patting yourself on the back the next time a craving strikes and you have these savory, cheesy potatoes ready to go—FRIDGE or FREEZER to the rescue!
