Essential Tips for Crispy Oven-Fried Potatoes:

  1. Slice Evenly: Ensure your potatoes are thinly sliced or cubed evenly to promote uniform cooking.
  2. Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in the casserole dish to allow heat to circulate around each piece, achieving that desired crispiness.
  3. Use High Heat: Baking at a high temperature helps to crisp the potatoes while keeping the inside tender.
  4. Broil for Perfection: The final broil is crucial for getting that golden, crispy exterior—keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
