Chef's Pro Tips
For extra crispy potatoes, soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps remove excess starch.
Use a mandoline slicer for consistent, thin potato slices.
Don’t overcrowd the sheet pan to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Storage Guide
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or skillet until heated through and crispy.
Avoid These Mistakes
✕ Overcrowding the pan, which leads to steaming instead of crisping.
✕ Slicing the potatoes too thick, resulting in uneven cooking.
✕ Not seasoning generously, which can make the dish bland.
