Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Garlic Potatoes
- For extra crispy potatoes, pat the potato slices dry with paper towels before marinating.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while cooking the potatoes; this will prevent them from crisping properly. Work in batches if necessary.
- Feel free to experiment with other spices! Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat or a dash of cumin for an earthy flavor are great options.
- These potatoes are delicious served warm or at room temperature. They also reheat well the next day, making them perfect for meal prep.
