Recipe Tips & Suggestions
Helpful Tips:
These potatoes may look complicated to prepare, but they are pretty simple. When slicing the potatoes, have something flat on each side to hold them potatoes in place. This will also prevent the knife from cutting through the potato. You can either use chopsticks or wooden spatulas.
You could make those potatoes and the yogurt sauce beforehand and keep them in the fridge separately until ready to serve. However, the potatoes will be the crispiest if you serve them immediately.
