Note

Blotting the potatoes dry is crucial for achieving a crispy texture rather than steaming them.

Add the garlic at the end to prevent it from burning and turning bitter.

For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to restore crispiness.
