Notes
✅ Ingredient Prep Tips:
- Soak potatoes in water for 30 minutes to remove starch for extra crispiness.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; potatoes need space to crisp up!
- Flip halfway through for even cooking.
- Not flipping the potatoes can cause uneven browning.
- Using too much oil can make them soggy instead of crispy.
