FAQ – Mexican Potatoes
Question: Can I use different types of potatoes?
Absolutely! While I love using Yukon Golds for their buttery flavor, you can use Russets, red potatoes, or even fingerlings. Just keep in mind that different potatoes may have slightly different cooking times.
Question: How do I make sure my potatoes are crispy?
To achieve that perfect crispiness, make sure to cut your potatoes into even pieces for uniform cooking, and don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. Also, a good drizzle of oil and high heat do wonders!
Question: Can I make these in an air fryer?
Yes, you can! Just toss the seasoned potatoes in your air fryer basket and cook at around 400°F for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway to ensure even browning. It’s a speedy way to get that crispy texture.
