💡 Tips & Tricks

Make it even better

• For crispier edges, broil 2–3 minutes at the end (watch closely!).

FAQ

Can I add mushrooms?

Yes—cremini or button mushrooms work best. Add them from the start so they roast and soak up flavor. If you prefer them firmer, add during the last 20 minutes.

Do I need to peel the potatoes?

Not required. If using Yukon Gold or red potatoes, the skin roasts nicely—just scrub well.

How do I keep the potatoes from getting soggy?

Use a large pan so ingredients aren’t crowded, and stir only once halfway through. Crowding = steaming instead of roasting.

Can I prep this ahead of time?

Yes. Chop veggies earlier in the day and store chilled. Assemble right before baking for best texture.

What are the best leftovers tips?

Store airtight up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to bring back crisp edges.
