Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 6 cups Water
- 2 teaspoons Sea salt
- 6 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into even-sized sticks about 1/4 inch thick for uniform frying.
Step 2
In a large pot, combine water and white vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the potato sticks to the boiling vinegar-water mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender but not falling apart.
Step 4
Remove the potatoes from the pot and pat them dry with paper towels. Let them cool completely for about 15 minutes.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pot or fryer to 325°F (163°C).
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Step 8
Fry the par-cooked potatoes in small batches again for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and ultra-crispy.
Step 9
Remove the fries from the oil and immediately toss them in a bowl with sea salt to taste.
Step 10
Serve the French fries hot, optionally paired with ketchup, aioli, or your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.
