Ingredients:
2 tablespoons white vinegar
3-4 large potatoes
Water (enough to soak the potatoes)
Cooking oil (for frying)
Salt to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips. Make sure the cuts are even for consistent frying.
Soak in Vinegar Water
Place the potato strips in a bowl.
Add enough water to fully submerge the potatoes, and mix in 2 tablespoons of white vinegar.
Soak for about 30 minutes to an hour. The vinegar helps remove starch and ensures crispy fries when fried.
Rinse and Dry
After soaking, rinse the potatoes thoroughly with clean water.
Pat them dry with a kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Fry the Potatoes
Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to about 350°F (175°C).
Fry the potato strips in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden and crispy.
Season and Serve
Remove the fries and place them on paper towels to drain any extra oil.
Sprinkle with salt while they’re still hot and serve immediately.
Conclusion
This vinegar-soaking method guarantees perfectly crispy French fries every time. Pair them with your favorite dips or enjoy them plain—either way, they’re delicious! Try this recipe, and you’ll never look back.
Enjoy!
