Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • 8 cups water
  • 1/4 cup fine sea salt plus more for sprinkling
  • 1/4 cup white distilled vinegar plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil

Instruction

  • Peel potatoes and cut into generous slices lengthwise. Aim for an inch wide by 1/2 thick.
  • Cover slices in cold water while you are slicing. Drain water and cover finished slices again. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Drain water off when ready to go to next step.
  • Bring 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1/4 cup sea salt and 1/4 cup vinegar and then toss in potato slices.
  • Return water to a boil and parboil 3 minutes. Drain pot to a colander. Allow potatoes to sit a few minutes to air dry somewhat. Sprinkle with more white vinegar. Allow potatoes to cool to room temperature. (If you are going to Skillet Fry jump to those instructions).
