FAQs
Q: Can I use waxy potatoes like red potatoes?
A: Yes. Waxy potatoes work, but baking time may change. They may be less crisp than Russet.
Q: How thin should I slice the potatoes?
A: About 1/8 inch thick works well. Thin slices crisp faster.
Q: Do I need to soak the slices in water first?
A: Soaking can remove extra starch and help crisp, but it is not required if you dry them well.
Q: Can I make these ahead for a party?
A: Yes. Bake, cool, and store in the fridge. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to crisp before serving.
Q: Can I use butter instead of olive oil?
A: Yes, melted butter gives a richer flavor but may brown faster. Adjust baking time if needed.
