Directions

  1. Put potato slices in a large bowl. Pour enough cold water over the potatoes to cover completely. Soak potatoes, gently agitating every 10 minutes, for 30 minutes, drain.

  2. Spread potatoes slices onto paper towel, pat dry with more paper towels.

  3. Mix vinegar and 1 cup cold water in the large bowl, add potatoes. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes, stir gently, and continue chilling at least 30 minutes more.

  4. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  5. Working in batches, use a slotted spoon to remove potato slices from vinegar mixture and gently add to the hot oil. Fry potatoes until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Remove chips to a bowl lined with paper towel to drain.

  6. Use the paper towel to lift chips from the bowl and put them into a separate bowl, season with salt. Spread the salted chips onto paper towel to further dry and cool completely.

Recipe Note

My children love salt and vinegar chips, and I had some potatoes to use, so I thought this would be a nice treat for them. I took my French fry recipe and converted it slightly, though the soaking in vinegar idea was my mom's! I hope your family likes them as much as mine did! These are excellent for a cookout;make them a day ahead and surprise everybody!
