Tips:

For a crispier texture, roast the potatoes at a higher temperature (425°F) for a shorter amount of time (20-25 minutes).
If you don't have a baking dish, you can also roast the potatoes on a sheet pan.
Be sure to toss the potatoes with the oil and seasonings before roasting to ensure they are evenly coated.
If you like your potatoes extra cheesy, you can add more shredded cheese to the top before baking.
For a more flavorful dish, try using a variety of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
You can also add other toppings to your potatoes, such as bacon, cooked ground beef, or chopped green onions.
