Variations & Tips
For a cheesy twist, add a sprinkle of mozzarella or cheddar cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the herb mix. For a more robust flavor, try using smoked paprika or cumin. If you’re cooking for picky eaters, consider serving the potatoes with a side of ketchup or ranch dressing for dipping. You can also experiment with different herbs based on what you have on hand, such as basil or dill.
