👩🍳 FAQs
Definitely, they will cook to perfection as long as the required time is given.
In order for them to be crispy, a higher temperature is needed. My slow cooker does run a little higher than usual and so I was able to get the coloring on the potatoes at the bottom, then I stirred them up. If you are unable to get this color - give them a quick blast in the oven.
