Breakfast Potatoes Recipe FAQ
If you haven’t cooked your potatoes enough, they may be a little mushy or you may have added too much oil.
You don’t need to soak potatoes before roasting! Some believe soaking potatoes will make them more crispy, but they will get perfectly crispy in the oven without soaking beforehand.
How to store Crispy Breakfast Potatoes
Storing: These potatoes will last in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
Freezing: We don’t recommend freezing these potatoes. They’re best eaten fresh so they stay crispy!
Reheating: These potatoes are best when reheated in the toaster oven or in the oven. We don’t recommend microwaving them because they can get soggy.
