FAQs
Can I make Cocktail Crisps in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the crisps in advance and store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Simply reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to restore their crispiness.
Can I use sweet potatoes for this recipe?
Absolutely! You can use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a slightly different flavor and texture. The recipe will work just as well with them.
Can I add other seasonings?
Yes, feel free to experiment with different seasonings like cayenne pepper, parmesan, or even dried herbs like thyme or rosemary to suit your taste.
Can I fry these crisps instead of baking them?
Yes, you can deep-fry the potato slices in hot oil until crispy, but baking is a healthier alternative and still gives them a lovely crunch.
