Note
For extra crispiness, ensure the potatoes are dry before coating them. You can substitute the jelly roll pan with a standard baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Feel free to add other herbs like parsley, thyme, or garlic powder to the flour mixture for additional flavor.
Serve immediately while hot and crisp. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to restore crunch.
