❓ Q & A Section

Q: Why aren’t my potato slices crispy?

A:

• Too much moisture → pat dry well

• Overcrowded basket → cook in batches

• Not enough oil → lightly coat all slices

Q: Do I really need to soak the potatoes?

A: Not required, but soaking removes excess starch and helps make them crispier.

Q: Can I use sweet potatoes?

A: Yes! Reduce cook time to 12–15 minutes and check often.

Q: Can I make these without oil?

A: Yes, but they’ll be less crispy. Use cooking spray if needed.
