Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 6 cups Water
- 2 teaspoons Sea salt
- 6 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into even-sized sticks about 1/4 inch thick for uniform frying.
In a large pot, combine water and white vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the potato sticks to the boiling vinegar-water mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender but not falling apart.
Remove the potatoes from the pot and pat them dry with paper towels. Let them cool completely for about 15 minutes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pot or fryer to 325°F (163°C).
Fry the potatoes in small batches for 5-6 minutes until lightly golden but not fully crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined tray to drain excess oil.
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Fry the par-cooked potatoes in small batches again for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and ultra-crispy.
Remove the fries from the oil and immediately toss them in a bowl with sea salt to taste.
Serve the French fries hot, optionally paired with ketchup, aioli, or your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.
