Crispy Fries Made Perfect: The Vinegar Trick You Need to Know (Page 2 ) | March 22, 2025

Directions:

Prep the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes (optional) and cut them into even fry-sized strips. The size can be adjusted based on your preference, but uniformity ensures even cooking.

Soak in Vinegar Solution: In a large bowl, combine water, salt, and vinegar. Submerge the potato strips in the solution, making sure they’re fully covered. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This step helps remove excess starch, which contributes to the crispiness.

Dry the Potatoes: After soaking, drain the fries and pat them thoroughly dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen cloth. The dryer the fries, the crispier they will be when fried.

Heat the Oil: In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to about 350°F (175°C). The oil should be hot enough to crisp up the fries immediately upon contact.

Fry the Fries: Carefully lower the fries into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes, or until they start to turn golden.

Double Fry for Extra Crisp: For the ultimate crispiness, remove the fries and let them rest for a few minutes. Then, fry them again for 2-3 minutes until they’re golden and crispy. This step makes a big difference in texture.

Drain and Season: Once the fries are crispy and golden, remove them from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Season with a little extra salt if desired.

Serving and Storage Tips:

Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Crispy fries tend to lose their crunch as they cool, so enjoy them fresh from the fryer.
If you need to store leftovers, place the fries in an airtight container. To reheat, use an oven or air fryer to restore some crispness, rather than using a microwave.
