Nevertheless, you may reheat them in a 375°F oven for about 10 to fifteen minutes to revive a few of that crunch. Keep away from microwaving them if potential, as this makes them soggy.

If you happen to’re meal prepping, you may slice the potatoes and hold them in chilly water within the fridge for as much as 24 hours earlier than cooking. Simply pat them utterly dry earlier than brushing with the garlic butter. The creamy garlic sauce retains properly within the fridge for as much as 5 days, so you may make it forward and have it able to go.
