For extra crispiness, consider using clarified butter. It has a higher smoke point and less water content than regular butter. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet! This will steam the potatoes instead of roasting them. Work in batches if needed. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings. Garlic powder, paprika, or dried herbs would be delicious additions to the flour mixture. Serve immediately for the best texture.
