Tips

• Cut the potatoes into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
• Dry the potatoes thoroughly after washing for the crispiest results.
• For extra crispy potatoes, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 20–30 minutes, then dry well before seasoning.
• Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes for a spicy version.
• These potatoes pair perfectly with eggs, steak, chicken, burgers, fish, or your favorite dipping sauces.
