Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 120 ml White vinegar
- 1 liters Water
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1 liters Neutral oil (like canola or vegetable oil) for frying
- 2 tbsp Extra white vinegar for seasoning
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized sticks about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large pot, combine 120 ml of white vinegar and 1 liter of water. Add 1 tsp of salt and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the potato sticks. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until the potatoes are just tender but not breaking apart.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Let them air dry for 15 minutes.
In a large, deep pot or a fryer, heat the neutral oil to 180°C (350°F). Work in batches to avoid overcrowding, frying the potatoes for 4-5 minutes until they are lightly golden. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined tray to drain.
Increase the oil temperature to 200°C (390°F) and fry the same potatoes a second time for 2-3 minutes until they are crisp and golden brown. Remove and drain on a clean paper towel-lined tray.
Immediately after frying, toss the hot fries in a large bowl with 2 tbsp of extra white vinegar, the remaining 1 tsp of salt, and 1 tsp of cayenne pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish. Enjoy the tangy, spicy, and crispy treat!
