# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything roasts on one sheet pan so cleanup is almost nonexistent
  • The combination of hot crispy potatoes and cool fresh toppings hits every texture at once
  • You can pile on whatever toppings you have or leave off what you do not like
02 -
  • Crowding the baking sheet is the fastest way to end up with steamed soft potatoes instead of crispy ones
  • Let the roasted potatoes sit for just 2 minutes before adding cheese so the shreds do not slide right off
03 -
  • Cut the potatoes into similar sized pieces so they all finish cooking at the same time
  • Use a Microplane to grate fresh garlic over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of roasting for an extra layer of flavor
