  • Gently shake the potatoes in a colander to remove any excess water.
  • While the potatoes are still hot, toss them with the seasoning mixture. This will help the seasoning to adhere to the potatoes.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
