| Step | Action | Why It Matters |

🎉 Final Tips from My Kitchen
Last week, I burned my first batch because I used thick slices. Lesson learned? Thinner is better! Now I use a $15 mandolin from Amazon – it’s a game-changer.
Store leftovers in a paper bag (not plastic!) for up to 2 days. They lose crispiness fast, so share with friends!
