Can I just paint over my white kitchen cabinets?

I have white kitchen cabinets and over time, they have become dirty and dingy. Can I just paint over them with more white paint or is there a preparation process before repainting?

    Last year after the hurricane, I repainted cabinets and found that oil based is a great product with no prep. But it is smelly when it is drying.

    You definitely want to clean them first, and you will need to lightly sand them for the paint to adhere well.
