How to store

Storing: These potato leftovers will last in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container.

Freezing: We don’t recommend freezing these potatoes. They’re best eaten fresh so they stay crispy!

Reheating: These potatoes are best when reheated in the toaster oven or in the oven. We don’t recommend microwaving them because they can get soggy.
