Notes

Storage & Reheat

To store the leftovers cool them to room temperature. Then store in an airtight container and refrigerate. They stay good for up to 4 days.

To reheat just transfer the potatoes to a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 1 minute at high temperature. You can also saute the potatoes on a skillet on the stovetop.

To reheat on the skillet, heat 1 tsp of oil in a skillet and transfer the potatoes to the pan. Drizzle a few drops of water over them. Toss and cook for 1 - 2 minutes on medium-high heat. Add some fresh herbs to it.
