Q & A
Q: Can I make this dish without oil?
A: Yes, you can boil or steam the potatoes, then season them lightly for a healthier version.
Q: How can I make the potatoes extra crispy?
A: Soak sliced potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes, then pat dry before cooking. This removes excess starch and gives a crispier result.
Q: Can I bake instead of frying?
A: Yes! Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, for crispy oven-roasted potatoes.
Q: Can I store leftovers?
A: Yes, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven for best crispiness.
