FAQs
Q: Can I use frozen potatoes?
A: Fresh gives best crisp. If frozen, thaw and dry them first. Cook a bit longer.
Q: Do I need to peel the potatoes?
A: No. You can leave the skin on for texture and flavor. Peel if you prefer.
Q: Can I make a larger batch?
A: Yes, but cook in batches to avoid crowding. Crowding makes them steam, not crisp.
Q: What if my potatoes are not crisp?
A: Cook a few more minutes and avoid overcrowding. Make sure pieces are dry before oil.
Q: Can I use a different oil?
A: Yes. Use any oil with a medium-high smoke point like avocado or sunflower oil.
