Cookix's Secrets

Alternative Cooking Methods

  • Try air-frying the potatoes at 190°C (375°F) for a quicker, crispier result.

Cooking Tips

  • For extra crispiness, spread the potatoes in a single layer without overcrowding the pan.
  • Use a high-quality dry white wine for the best flavor.

Flavor Enhancements

  • Add minced garlic or lemon zest for an extra layer of flavor.

Healthier Variations

  • Reduce the olive oil to 30 ml (1 fl oz) for a lighter version.

Ingredient Substitutions

  • Replace white wine with vegetable broth for an alcohol-free version.

Seasonal Tweaks

  • Use thyme or oregano instead of rosemary for a different herbal profile.

Serving Suggestions
