For a crispy texture, spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking dish.
Serving Suggestions
These seasoned oven potatoes are a versatile side dish that pairs beautifully with grilled meats or a fresh salad. They are especially delightful alongside dishes like Gramma's Candied Yams for a festive meal. Serve them with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flavor. They also make a great addition to a breakfast plate with eggs.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover seasoned oven 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 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. This will help retain their crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.
