Perfect Crispy French Fries with Vinegar Soak

★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.
