Tips for Perfect Potato Rounds

• Use Even Slices: Slicing the potatoes evenly ensures they cook at the same rate.
• Choose the Right Cheese: A mix of cheddar and mozzarella provides the best flavor and melt.
• Keep an Eye on Baking: Check for doneness around the 15-minute mark to prevent burning.

Variations and Serving Suggestions

• Add Spice: Sprinkle cayenne pepper or red chili flakes for a spicy kick.
• Extra Crunch: Add a handful of breadcrumbs to the cheese for a crispy topping.
• Serve with Dips: Pair with sour cream, ranch dressing, or garlic aioli.

How to Store and Reheat

• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Warm in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes or until crispy.
