The thickness of the slices will determine the cooking time. The thicker the potato is sliced, the longer it will take to crisp. If too thick, the potatoes will remain softened on the inside and crisp on the outside. We recommend using a mandoline if available or carefully slicing as thin as possible to shorten the cooking time.
