Air Fryer Salt and Vinegar French Fries

These Air Fryer Salt and Vinegar French Fries use Yukon gold potatoes sliced into thin strips then soaked in white vinegar to impart tanginess. Air frying crisps the fries with less oil, while tossing with extra vinegar and salt after cooking enhances their signature sharp, salty flavor.

Description

The recipe starts by washing and cutting Yukon gold potatoes into thin 1/4-inch strips. The potato strips soak in distilled white vinegar for about 30 minutes, allowing the vinegar's acidity to penetrate the potatoes. After draining and drying thoroughly, the fries are tossed with a small amount of vegetable oil to help crisp during air frying. The fries cook in batches at 380°F for 18-20 minutes, turning once for even browning and a crisp exterior.

Once cooked, each batch is immediately tossed with extra white vinegar and salt to intensify the salt and vinegar flavor, a classic combination popular for fries. The result is a fries dish with a crispy texture and a bright, tangy taste that is less greasy than traditional deep-fried versions.

These fries are best served fresh right after air frying and seasoning. They provide a tangy accompaniment to burgers, sandwiches, or as a snack on their own.
