FAQ
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Prepare the creamy sauce and partially cook the potatoes, then assemble and finish cooking when ready to serve.
Can I bake it instead of frying?
Absolutely! Layer the potatoes in a baking dish, pour the creamy sauce over them, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30–40 minutes until bubbly and golden.
How do I make it extra crispy?
After cooking in the sauce, place the potatoes under a broiler for 2–3 minutes to get a golden, slightly crispy top.
These cheesy garlic fried potatoes are simple, indulgent, and guaranteed to please any crowd.
