Recipe FAQs
Can I use different potatoes?
Yes, you can use larger potatoes like russets, but you’ll need to adjust the cooking time until they are fork-tender. Smaller, waxy potatoes work best for texture.
What if I don’t have a broiler?
If your oven lacks a broiler, increase your oven temperature to 475°F for the last few minutes to help the cheese melt and brown.
How can I make this dish spicier?
Double the red pepper flakes or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the garlic butter for more heat.
