Tips & Substitutions
For perfectly seasoned salt potatoes, choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, as they hold their shape well. If you want to add a twist, try using garlic powder or paprika alongside the seasoned salt. To enhance flavor, consider using infused olive oil, such as garlic or rosemary. Make sure to flip the potatoes halfway through baking for even cooking and crispiness.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover seasoned salt potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.
