  2. In a medium bowl, toss the prepared potato pieces with olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender on the inside and golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.

  3. Once the potatoes are roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the hot potato bites. Return the baking sheet to the oven for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
