Tips & Tricks:
- Herbs also go great on these potatoes. We like parsley, dill, thyme, and rosemary.
- For extra spice, add more red pepper flakes or ground cayenne.
- If you like sweet, topping with cinnamon helps to enhance the sweetness of the potato.
- Putting tin foil on the tray before the potatoes will significantly speed up your clean up!
