Prepare the Potatoes:
Peel and cut the potatoes into thin, even strips for consistent frying.
Soak in Vinegar Water:
Place the potato strips in a bowl.
Add enough water to fully submerge them, and mix in 2 tablespoons of white vinegar.
Soak for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. The vinegar helps remove starch and results in crispier fries.
Rinse and Dry:
After soaking, rinse the potatoes thoroughly with clean water.
Pat them dry completely using a kitchen towel or paper towels to remove all excess moisture.
Fry the Potatoes:
Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the potatoes in small batches to prevent overcrowding. Cook until golden and crispy.
Season and Serve:
Remove fries from the oil and place on paper towels to drain.
Sprinkle with salt while still hot and serve immediately.
Conclusion
This vinegar-soaking method ensures perfectly crispy French fries every time. Pair them with your favorite dips or enjoy them plain—they’re delicious either way.
Enjoy!
