Directions

1Cut potatoes into smaller uniform fries and spread out on the baking sheet.
2Using peanut oil instead of olive oil.
3To avoid french fries falling apart, add just a little bit of vinegar.
4Add salt to the boiling potato water to create a salty environment and internally season them through diffusion.
5Set a pot of water on medium high heat to bring to a boil.
6Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and slice them into roughly 1/2 inch sheets, then into roughly 1/2 inch thick fries.
7Add a tablespoon of vinegar and a three-finger pinch of salt.
8Stir to dissolve the salt, add the french fries to the boiling water and set a timer for eight minutes.
9Pour the fries into a colander or strainer to let the excess steam evaporate for a couple of minutes.
10Add the boiled fries to a large baking sheet and pour over about 1/4 cup of peanut oil.
11Mix the fries so the oil completely coats the outside of each fry.
12Evenly space out your french fries on the pan, slide into a preheated 450-degree oven and set a timer for 15 minutes.
13After 15 minutes, pull the baking sheet out and flip the fries over with a spatula.
14Add them back to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes.
15Pour in the fries and immediately add a generous pinch of salt.
16Toss the fries with the paper towel so it absorbs the excess oil on the outside.
