Prep:
15 mins
Soak Time::
1 hr
Cook:
25 mins
Total:
1 hr 40 mins
Ingredients
- 2 lb potatoes, preferably Russets, peeled
- 1 cup white wine vinegar
- 5 cups water, up to 8 cups, for soaking
- 5 cups vegetable oil, up to 8 cups, for frying
- salt, to taste
For Garnish:
- parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Begin by cutting potatoes into ½ inch-wide strips using a waffle cutter.
- In a large container, submerge your fries in water. Add vinegar and toss slowly.
- Cover and set aside at room temperature for an hour. Submerging in water will prevent the potatoes from discoloration, while the vinegar will flavor your potatoes. Drain your potatoes and pat dry afterward.
- Heat your oil to 300 degrees F. Blanch your fires in batches until fully cooked inside but not crispy, roughly 3 to 5 minutes.
- Drain strips and set aside, while you finish the other batches, then turn up the temperature to 360 degrees F.
- Deep fry in batches until your crinkle fries turn golden brown and crispy, roughly 5 to 7 minutes. Drain strips and set aside.
- Season lightly with salt then serve.
