Chef's Tips
For extra crispiness, preheat the baking sheet in the oven before placing the potatoes on it.
Use a mandoline for perfectly even slices.
Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; bake in batches if necessary.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Not drying the potatoes thoroughly can prevent them from crisping up.
Using too little oil will result in dry, less crispy potatoes.
Overbaking can lead to burnt potatoes, so keep a close eye on them.
