**Perfect Crispy French Fries with Vinegar Soak: The Ultimate Recipe for Crispy, Golden Fries**
Who doesn’t love a perfectly crispy, golden French fry? Whether you’re pairing them with a juicy burger, enjoying them as a snack, or using them to scoop up your favorite dip, fries are a universal comfort food. But the secret to getting those fries just right? It’s all about the **prep**. And one game-changing step that can take your fries from good to *perfect* is soaking them in vinegar before frying.
### **Why Soak Potatoes in Vinegar?**
Before we jump into the recipe, you might be wondering, **why vinegar?** Here’s the science behind it:
1. **Helps Create a Crispy Outer Layer:** Soaking the potatoes in vinegar helps remove excess starch, which can otherwise make fries soggy. The vinegar tightens up the potato surface, helping to create a crispier, crunchier texture when fried.
2. **Prevents Oxidation:** Potatoes can brown quickly after being cut. A vinegar soak helps prevent this discoloration and keeps your fries looking fresh.
3. **Boosts Flavor:** The slight tang from the vinegar can infuse into the potatoes, adding an extra layer of flavor to the fries, without being overpowering.
### **Ingredients You’ll Need:**
– **4 large russet potatoes** (ideal for fries due to their starchy texture)
– **4 cups cold water**
– **2 tablespoons white vinegar**
– **Vegetable oil for frying** (enough to submerge the fries)
– **Salt** (to taste)
– **Optional seasonings** (garlic powder, paprika, or black pepper)
