Crispiest Crunchiest Oven Baked Fry

Instructions

1. Set a pot of water on medium-high heat to boil.

2. Peel the potatoes, and cut them into 1/2 inch thick fries (or your desired fry size). Try to keep them consistent.

3. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

4. Once the water has boiled, add the vinegar and a very liberal pinch of salt.

5. Carefully add the potatoes to the boiling water and set a timer for 8 minutes.

6. When done, drain fries into a colander and let the excess steam evaporate for a couple of minutes.

7. Give the fry a wobble for fun.

8. Add the fries to a large baking sheet and pour over the peanut oil. Mix the fries so the oil completely coats the outside of each fry. Try to make it so there is space around each fry (no touching!).

9. Add the pan to oven bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

10. Once crispy enough, toss in a large bowl with desired toppings. My favs are listed in the recipe.

11. Set a paper towel in a bowl. Pour in the fries and immediately a pinch of maldon salt. Toss the fries with the paper towel so it absorbs the excess oil.
