💡 Pro Tips for Maximum Crispiness
Use starchy potatoes (not waxy).
Soak in vinegar water to remove excess starch.
Dry thoroughly before tossing in cornstarch.
Double-fry for the best texture.
Don’t overcrowd the fryer or baking tray.
Salt while hot so it sticks better.
🥕 Healthier Tweaks
Use an air fryer (200°C for 15–20 minutes, shake halfway).
Try convection baking for extra crisp.
Swap potatoes with zucchini, carrots, or sweet potatoes (adjust cook time).
