Try baking your potatoes with a light spray of oil instead of deep frying. You can also use an air fryer to get that crispy texture with less fat. For extra flavor, season with your favorite herbs and spices!

It's best to use potatoes that are lower in starch, like red potatoes and Yukon Gold. Also, boil the potato pieces for a few minutes before frying them, so you won't have to dip them in oil for a long time since they're already tender.

Oh, thanks for the tip! I actually love baking potatoes with just a spray of oil and some herbs in the air fryer – they turn out so crispy and delicious!

Thanks for the awesome tip! I actually made these using Yukon Gold and the par-boiling trick, and they turned out crispy and delicious!
