Vinegar Trick to Get Crispy French Fries
Ingredients:
1 kg of potatoes
Sunflower oil, as needed
Cold water, as needed
2 tsp white vinegar
Preparation:
-Begin by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into approximately 1 cm thick sticks. If you prefer, you can leave the skins on, but ensure they are thoroughly washed.
-Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with water.
-Stir in two tablespoons of white vinegar. This step is crucial for crispiness.
-Let the potatoes rest in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, though an hour is ideal.
-After resting, remove the potatoes from the water and dry them thoroughly. You can use a kitchen towel or paper napkins for this.
-Heat sunflower oil in a pot or a suitable frying pan.
-Fry the potatoes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
