Crispy Oven Fries


These fries are spectacular. Enough said.

Time: Approx. 30 minutes.

Ingredients

2-4 potatoes
2 tbsp white vinegar
2 tbsp vegetable oil
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Pick out 2-4 potatoes (depending on the size - I used 4 last night, but they were pretty tiny), wash, and slice them into wedges. The widest part of the skin-edge should be about 1 cm wide, to ensure maximum crispiness!

In a medium sized bowl, add wedges and vinegar. Fill with very hot tap water, and soak for 5-10 minutes. This softens them a little before they go into the oven, and the vinegar helps with the crispiness.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Spread vegetable oil, salt and pepper over a cookie sheet so that these ingredients are evenly distributed.

After the fries have finished soaking, pour out the water, and dry the wedges off using paper towel.

Arrange the wedges on the prepared cookie sheet, and put in the oven for 10 minutes.

  
 
Flip the fries over, and put back in the oven for 5-7 minutes. Put fries in a bowl with paper towel, shake around to remove excess oil, and they are ready to eat! If you're cooking for a family, you might want to double the recipe, they won't last long!
