★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.
