Crisp Salt And Vinegar Potatoes

Salt and vinegar potatoes taste just like your favorite potato chips. These potatoes are a fun new way to reinvent the chips and transform potatoes into a crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, tangy treat of a side dish served on a supper plate.

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

To a large pot, add the potatoes, 1 cup of vinegar, and the tablespoon of salt. Add water to the pot, until it covers the potatoes by 2 inches. Bring the pot to a rolling boil, reduce heat to medium low, and then simmer the potatoes for 20 minutes, or until fork tender.

Transfer the potatoes to a strainer to drain, and let them rest there for a minute or two while the steam dries them slightly.
Heat the butter in a large cast iron skillet, over medium high heat, until melted and hot. Stir in the potatoes, season with salt & pepper, and fry until the potatoes are golden brown & crispy.
2 tbsp butter, freshly cracked black pepper
Transfer the fried potatoes to a serving dish, and drizzle with the remaining vinegar. Sprinkle with the flaked salt, and then garnish with the chives- if using.

Notes

Don't skip letting the potatoes drain for a few minutes in the colander to let the moisture evaporate off. Letting the extra moisture evaporate before frying the potatoes helps get the potatoes nice and crispy when you fry them.
The chives are optional but add a nice extra flavor.
Your potatoes are done when they caramelized a bit on the outside and crisped up.
