If you’re not one to have parchment paper handy you can certainly use roast these potatoes directly on the baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with foil. Lightly spray the parchment paper and foil with cooking spray or brush the baking sheet with cooking oil.
After they have cooled completely, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat in the microwave, although they will have a softer exterior. You can carefully reheat in a 375°F oven or in an air fryer for a few minutes, but use caution. Overcooking could make them too crispy on the outside.
Just before serving, you may drizzle these potatoes with melted butter, if desired. You can also serve them topped with a dollop of sour cream.
