Can I make these potatoes in the oven instead of an air fryer?

Yes, you can easily bake these heart-shaped potatoes in the oven. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C), arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.

What type of potatoes are best for this recipe?

For the best texture and flavor, starchy potatoes like russets or Yukon Golds are perfect. These potatoes become light and fluffy when cooked, making them ideal for this cute heart-shaped preparation.

Can I freeze the heart-shaped potatoes?

While it is best to serve them fresh, you can freeze uncooked heart-shaped potatoes for up to 2 months. Just make sure to spread them out on one tray to freeze them solid first before transferring to a freezer bag. When you’re ready to cook, add a few more minutes to the cooking time.

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. To maintain their crispiness, consider reheating them in the air fryer for a few minutes instead of the microwave.

Can I use other seasonings for these potatoes?

Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with your favorite herbs and spices. Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, or even chili powder can give these potatoes a whole new flavor profile.
