# Expert Advice:

03 -
  • Always let the potatoes touch the hot baking pan directly for maximum browning
  • Do not overcrowd the pan or steam will soften the crust and they will not get that lovely crunch

  • I learned early on that flipping gently halfway through prevents sticking but keeps the cheesy crust mostly intact
