# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Ready in under twenty minutes from fridge to plate, perfect for unexpected guests or sudden cravings.
  • Uses ingredients most people have hanging around, no specialty shopping needed.
  • So addictive that you'll find yourself making double batches just to keep some hidden in the pantry.
02 -
  • Flipping halfway is essential—the bottom side needs just as much heat and air as the top, or you'll get one crispy side and one soft side.
  • Don't crowd the basket; even though it's tempting to fit more chips at once, they need breathing room to crispen up properly.
03 -
  • The cinnamon sugar will only stick to the butter, so that step is non-negotiable—it's what separates crispy, delicious chips from sad, plain ones.
  • Flipping halfway through is the secret that nobody thinks about but makes all the difference between chips that are crispy on one side and actually golden on both.
