Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prevent garlic from burning?
Wrap whole garlic cloves in small foil packets or nestle them between potato pieces.
Can I use dried parsley instead of fresh?
Yes, but use 1/3 the amount and add it before cooking instead of after.
Why aren't my potatoes getting crispy?
Make sure not to overcrowd the basket and that potatoes are dry before adding oil.
Can I make this recipe without oil?
Yes, but results won't be as crispy. Try using vegetable broth spray instead.
How do I know when the potatoes are done?
They should be easily pierced with a fork and golden brown on the outside.
