Eat straight away or let cool completely and store in the fridge for up to a week in glass storage jars. POTATO CROUTONS
If your roasted potatoes are still lurking in your fridge by the end of the week, the best way to use them is in the form of croutons. This adds a much-needed satiating starch to your salads so you will feel fuller longer. Simply throw them in the air fryer for 20 minutes until they come out nice and crisp. Or, if you don’t have an air fryer, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread the potatoes on it and bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes on 425 degrees. Like bread croutons, you want that crispiness. So, bake them as long as you need to without causing a house fire. After they are done you can let them cool completely and store in a glass container lined with paper towel in the fridge. Add as many of them as you like to your salads. They are yummy!

Special Notes:
I am a self-professed gadget queen. The picture on the right are leftover baked potatoes and mushrooms air-fried.
When you use an air fryer for potatoes, those potatoes need do be precooked for the best tasting 'fries'. Whatever baked potatoes I have leftover in my Ziploc at the end of the week, I cut into pieces and air fry. To get seasoning to adhere to the fries, you can brush them with aquafaba (chickpea cooking or canned water) and sprinkle with no salt seasoning. It takes about 40 minutes to get the crispness I like with my air fryer. Just remember that when you air fry food you are removing the water so in effect you are making the potatoes about 12% more calorie dense. So I cook whatever I have left over, set aside my usual portion and share the rest.
These potato pancakes are filling and delicious and are also oil and salt free. I adapted them from a recipe I found on the internet to ensure that they are a healthy way to enjoy this starchy staple. Makes 24. Ingredients:
