Notes
- If time allows, peel, and dice the potatoes at least 10 minutes ahead, or even a few hours before and soak in water. This step eliminates as much starch as possible.
- Additionally, season the potatoes right before cooking. Allowing the potatoes to stay with salt, will eliminate the moisture, which will hinder the crisping process.
