Tips & Variations
- Ingredient substitutions: You can use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a sweeter flavor. Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella for a unique twist.
- Optional variations: Add spices like paprika, cayenne pepper, or Italian seasoning for an extra kick or flavor profile. You could also try drizzling some balsamic glaze after baking for a tangy finish.
- Storage or reheating tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a hot oven (about 350°F/175°C) for 10-15 minutes to regain their crispiness.
