Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover fried potatoes and onions in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat with a small amount of oil to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the potatoes soft. For best texture and flavor, enjoy freshly made.
