A foolproof recipe with vinegar for dry and crispy fries
Once you have chosen your potatoes well, the question of cooking arises. How to succeed in avoiding too greasy fries while preserving their crispness? To this problem, a solution stands at the top of the list: it is white vinegar, an unparalleled ally in the kitchen . Here’s how to use it:
Get the following ingredients:
- Some water
- Potatoes
- oil for frying
- 1 heaped tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons of white vinegar
How to prepare your fries?
1. To start, peel your potatoes and cut them into sticks.
2. Then pour them into a large bowl and add the white vinegar, making sure they are all coated with it.
3. Cover your fries with cold water and let the preparation rest for about ten minutes.
4. Pour everything into a colander, then wipe the fries with a clean tea towel and tap lightly to remove excess water.
5. Pour your fries back into a bowl and sprinkle the cornstarch over the sticks, mixing everything together.
Cook the fries in two batches for maximum crispiness
After putting the oil in your fryer, make sure that the temperature reaches 160°C before plunging your fries into it and cooking them for the first time . This will cook the inside of your sticks without browning them. Once they rise to the surface, drain and let sit.
During the second cooking, increase the temperature of your oil bath to 180 or 190°C, then immerse your fries in it again for 2 to 3 minutes . When they are golden brown, remove them from the fryer and salt to your liking. They are ready to be eaten!
