Cover the pan with aluminum foil, put them in the oven, and roast for about 20 minutes until they’re crispy and golden brown.
And that’s all there is to it! In just a few simple steps, you can enjoy delicious reheated roast potatoes that taste just as good as they did the first time around.

How to Reheat them in the Microwave
The microwave is always an option to consider when reheating a meal, especially if we are in a hurry and cannot spend much time on the process.
Although in the case of roast potatoes, it may not be the best option, we know that sometimes we have to opt for speed.
So if you need to reheat your potatoes in the microwave quickly, place them on a microwavable plate and heat them for two minutes.
Then, remove the plate from the microwave and stir the potatoes.
If they are still not warm, heat them for an additional minute.
Finally, season the potatoes with salt and serve immediately.
With this simple method, you can enjoy delicious roast potatoes anytime.
Reheating them in the toaster oven
You can use your toaster oven to reheat roast potatoes if you have leftovers.
Preheat your oven to 400° F, then place the roasted potatoes on a baking sheet and cover them with foil.
Heat for 10-15 minutes or until heated.
You can also add olive oil or butter to the roasted potatoes before reheating, which will help keep them nice and crispy.
Reheat roast potatoes in the frying pan
This is a good method if you want to use leftover roast potatoes in a new way!
Start by adding a little oil to the pan and heating it over medium heat.
Then, add the potatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, occasionally stirring, until they are heated.
You may also want to add a little additional seasoning, such as salt and pepper, to taste. Once the potatoes are hot and crispy, they are ready to enjoy.
How to store roast potatoes
When it comes to storing roast potatoes, there are a few things you need to keep in mind.
First, cool the potatoes entirely before being stored.
If they are still warm, they will release moisture that can cause them to spoil more quickly.
Second, store them in a dry, airtight container.
A plastic bag or Tupperware container works well.
Third, store them in the fridge.
This will help to keep them fresh for longer.
Finally, when you’re ready to eat the potatoes, reheat them using any of the methods above until they are hot and crispy.
