📖 Recipe FAQs

Expand All:
Do you cook onions or potatoes first?

Potatoes take longer to cook, so they should start cooking first. Add onions midway to avoid overcooking.

Why are my potatoes not crispy in the oven?

Crowding the baking sheet traps steam, preventing crispiness. Ensure the potatoes are spread in a single layer.

Is it necessary to boil potatoes before frying?

Boiling is not required for oven-frying. However, parboiling can reduce cooking time and enhance texture.

Is it necessary to boil potatoes before roasting?

Boiling before roasting is optional. It helps achieve extra fluffiness inside and crispiness outside.
