FAQ
Can I bake at a different temperature or time?
Yes. If you change the temperature, adjust the baking time and check the potatoes for doneness. Convection ovens may cook a bit faster.
Is this recipe vegan and gluten-free?
Yes. It uses only plant ingredients and contains no gluten-containing additives.
How many servings does this make?
Two servings.
Can I use sweet potatoes or other potatoes?
You can, but time may vary; sweet potatoes tend to need a bit longer to crisp.
How should I store leftovers and reheat them?
Store cooled leftovers in the fridge for up to 2–3 days. Reheat in a hot oven (or toaster oven) to restore crispiness.
Can I cook this in an air fryer?
Yes. Preheat to 200°C and cook 15–20 minutes, shaking halfway, until crispy.
How can I get extra crispiness with less oil?
Spread potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray and avoid overcrowding; a hot oven and flipping halfway helps.
How should I serve this for a balanced meal?
Pair with colorful vegetables and whole grains to boost fiber and polyphenols, and garnish with parsley as in the recipe.
Can I adjust the spice or add chili?
Yes. Increase paprika or add a pinch of chili flakes to taste.
