Tips for Crispy French Fries

French fries? Without a doubt the dish that makes everyone agree, young and old alike. But to make them a success, you have to know how to prepare them in the rules of the art. First of all, it is important to choose potatoes with floury flesh (Bintje, Agria, Caesar, Marabel…). If you are a French fry purist, you can imitate the Belgians and use beef fat instead of vegetable oil.

Ingredients
Potatoes 1kg
Sunflower oil c/n
Cold water c/n
White vinegar 2 c
Preparation
Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks about 1 cm thick (you can leave them with the skin on, but they must be washed very well).
Put the cut potatoes in a large container and pour water to cover them.
Add the two tablespoons of vinegar and mix a little.
Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. One hour would be ideal.
Remove the potatoes from the water and dry them as much as possible (you can use a cloth or towels).
Heat the oil in a pot or pan suitable for frying.
Fry the potatoes in as many batches as necessary.
Enjoy the crispiest potatoes of all!
A quick and easy preparation. Try this way of making fries and you’ll see how leaving them in vinegar water changes everything. You won’t want to eat fries that aren’t made this way.
