Astuces et Variantes (Tips and Variations)

  • L’ail: If you're not a huge fan of garlic, you can use garlic powder instead, or even skip it entirely (but why would you?).
  • Le fromage: Experiment with different cheeses! Blue cheese adds a nice tang, while mozzarella makes it extra gooey. – Don’t be afraid to get creative!
  • Herbes: Add a sprinkle of fresh thyme or rosemary for a more sophisticated flavor.
  • Bacon: Because bacon makes everything better. Cook some bacon, crumble it, and sprinkle it over the potatoes before baking.
