Tips & Substitutions
For extra crispiness, consider soaking the cut potatoes in water for 30 minutes before baking. This removes excess starch and helps them crisp up nicely. If you're out of margarine, you can substitute with butter or a vegan alternative for a dairy-free option. Feel free to experiment with herbs; rosemary or oregano can complement the dish well.

Storage & Reheating
Store leftover roasted potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 15 minutes, or until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as this may make them soggy.
