Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; bake in batches if necessary.

Use a mandoline for uniform potato slices.

Storage Guide

kitchen

Store leftover potato rounds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best results.

✕ Overbaking can lead to burnt cheese and potatoes.
