    Can I use a smaller frying pan if I don't have a larger one?

    Yes, but it will take more time because you'll have to make smaller batches. Be sure not to overload the pan.

  • Question
    Most of the sites say to use russet potatoes because they are high in starch. Then most of them say to soak them, boil them and freeze them to get RID of the starch. Why?

    Community Answer
    Because starchiness is often viewed as an acquired taste and not enjoyed by many; but after some getting used to, it can be quite good.
