Tips for Crispy Oven-Fried Potatoes
🔥 Use high heat – Baking at 425°F ensures the potatoes get crispy.
🥔 Soak potatoes in water – If you have time, soak sliced potatoes in water for 30 minutes, then dry them thoroughly. This removes excess starch and makes them crispier.
🛢️ Don’t skimp on oil – A light coat of oil helps achieve a crispy exterior.
🍳 Pair with your favorite meals – These potatoes go great with steak, roasted chicken, or breakfast eggs.
