Cooking Tips

• Make sure to slice the potatoes thinly and evenly for consistent cooking.
• Do not overcrowd the pot or fryer when adding the potato slices to ensure even frying.
• Experiment with different seasonings such as barbecue, sour cream and onion, or salt and vinegar for variety.

Storage and Serving

• Homemade Potato Ruffles are best enjoyed immediately after frying for maximum crispiness.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• Reheat the potato ruffles in the oven at a low temperature to regain some crispiness.
