Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the potato mixture. If you're looking for a lighter version, substitute half of the vegetable oil with Greek yogurt for a creamy texture. Ensure the garlic is freshly crushed for the best flavor. If you're short on time, pre-cooked or frozen potatoes can also work, but adjust cooking times accordingly.
