# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The spices create this incredibly aromatic base that makes your entire kitchen smell like a brunch restaurant
  • It reheats beautifully for meal prep, and honestly might taste better the next day
02 -
  • Don't skip the potato par-boiling step, or you'll end up with raw centers and burnt exteriors every time
  • Use the largest skillet you own, and if you don't have a big enough one, cook in batches because overcrowding creates steaming instead of frying
03 -
  • Pat your potatoes dry after par-boiling for extra crispy results
  • Let your pan get properly hot before adding any ingredients
