    It is delicious. I’ve made it three times and have had compliments each time. My favorite thing about it is it is so easy and fast to make.

    • Lisa Longley says

      I’m so glad you like these as much as we do!

  3. Sally says

    Can I air fry these potatoes if I could what temperature and how many minutes thank you.

    • Lisa Longley says

      I’m sorry, I’ve only made these in the Instant Pot or in the stove. I would suggest 400 degrees for about 10 to 15 minutes and then toss them with the garlic, melted butter, salt, and pepper.

  4. Susan says

    Can I make these ahead and reheat for a party? I need to make enough for 20 people.

    • Lisa Longley says

      Unfortunately, I’ve only ever made these right before serving. I’m sure they can be warmed up and enjoyed. I would imagine they will be delicious, just slightly less so than if fresh.

  5. Ayo says

    Thanks for the recipe. Have you ever had issues with the garlic burning?

    • Lisa Longley says

      I have not. There’s enough butter in there for it not be an issue.
