I just made this today. Taste good, but did not come out as crispy looking like your picture. Did I miss something? Should i have taken out the aluminum foil half way through?
Just bake longer. Yes you can take off the foil half way.
Cast iron?
Btw, I made it and I had to fry it longer than 30 seconds to get the crisp brown in the bottom, and I used fresh chopped garlic. It came out so so great. My loves it, and my picky child ate it all! Outstanding!

It seems to me that you have left out an ingredient in the French Potatoes. The green herb in the dish. Is it parsley or coriander that you’ve tossed in to finish off the dish?
Yes just chopped parsley. Thanks for letting me know I have updated the recipe.
