Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 197kcal
Ingredients
- 3 russet potatoes, large (or 4 medium)
- very hot water
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup oil (I use vegetable oil)
Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes, peel them (if desired) and cut them into 3/8 to 1/2-inch planks.
- Cut the planks into 3/8 to 1/2-inch batons.
- Combine very hot tap water in a large bowl with the vinegar and 1 tablespoon of the salt.
- Soak the cut potato batons in the liquid for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and thoroughly blot them dry with clean towels.
- Place 2 foil-lined baking sheets in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
- Place the cornstarch, remaining teaspoon of salt, and oil in a medium bowl and add the potatoes.
- Toss the potatoes in the oil mixture until well-coated.
- When the oven has reached 450 degrees F, quickly remove the baking sheets, mist them liberally with non-stick spray, and arrange the potatoes on them in an even layer (trying not to allow the potatoes to touch each other).
- Bake the fries until golden brown and crisp on all sides, turning them every 6 to 7 minutes (approx. 25 to 30 minutes total).
