02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into your favorite shape—wedges, cubes, or sticks. Try to keep them about the same size so they cook evenly.

02

Step 2

Put the potatoes in a big pot, cover with water, add a teaspoon of salt, and bring it to a boil. Let them cook for about 12 minutes until they’re almost cooked through but still a bit firm.

03

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and let them cool down completely. This helps get rid of extra moisture, which is key for crispy chips.

04

Step 4

Once cooled, toss the potatoes in a large bowl with some oil to coat them lightly.

05

Step 5

Sprinkle on oregano, pepper, chili flakes, salt, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and chopped coriander leaves. Give everything a gentle toss so the potatoes are nicely seasoned.

06

Step 6

Grease a baking tray with a little oil or cooking spray, then spread the potatoes out in a single layer without overlapping. Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 10-12 minutes until they turn golden and crispy.

07

Step 7

Take them out, let them cool just a bit, and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or mayo!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Slice potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
- Soak the slices in cold water to remove excess starch and get extra crispiness.
- Fry in small batches to avoid lowering the oil temperature.
