The Vinegar Trick for Making Perfectly Crispy French Fries

Step 1: Soak the sliced potatoes in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and will result in crispier fries.

Step 2: Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3: Heat the frying oil in a deep pot or fryer to 325°F.

Step 4: Add the dried potatoes to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.

Step 5: Fry the potatoes until they are light golden brown, then remove them from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel.
