Notes
Cut your potatoes into evenly-sized pieces for consistent cooking.
Toss the ingredients well to ensure everything is coated in the seasoning blend.
Watch during the final cheese-melting phase to prevent over-browning.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days and reheat gently.
