Large-Style Thin Crispy Fries

Let's cook
Cut and rinse
7 minCut potatoes into thin 1/4-inch sticks; rinse until water runs fairly clear.
Parboil
6-8 minSimmer in water with vinegar until edges soften slightly without breaking.
Dry thoroughly
5 minDrain, spread on a towel and pat completely dry. Dry potatoes crisp better.
Roast or air-fry
18-22 minToss with oil. Air-fry at 390°F in batches, shaking twice, or roast at 450°F longer.
Season immediately
1 minSalt while hot; serve promptly for the best crunch.
The lower-oil method is a practical everyday version, not an exact replica of deep-fried fries.
Save more: Leave the skins on and pair one portion with a homemade burger rather than a double side.
