Squeeze the sauerkraut to remove any excess brine before adding it to the roasted potatoes.
Place red pickled onions on a paper towel to remove excess fluid before adding them to the roasted potatoes.
Boil the water before adding the red potatoes.
After you have washed, cut the potatoes into equal-sized pieces, so they cook evenly.
Preheat the oven or air fryer for best results.
Red Potatoes will turn a little darker brown before becoming crisp.
To reheat air-fried potatoes, add the potatoes to an air fryer for a perfectly crispy leftover dish in only three or four minutes.
To reheat in the oven, heat your oven to 400 degrees, spread potatoes on a sheet pan, and cover them in tin foil. Re-roast them until they're warm all the way through, about 10-15 minutes.
Cooked potatoes and other cooked vegetables can be safely kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
