Note
For extra crispiness, ensure the potato slices are completely dry before adding water and seeds. You can also toss them lightly in oil if you prefer a richer texture, though this recipe uses water for a lighter approach.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or regular oven to maintain crispness; microwaving may make them soggy.
Brown mustard seeds have a more pungent flavor than yellow seeds. If unavailable, yellow mustard seeds can be used as a substitute, but the flavor profile will be milder.
