Equipment

1 Pot (seasoned: How-to Season Steel Cookware)

Ingredients

1 ea potato anything but white potatoes! (Yellow, Yukon Gold, Purple, Sweet Potato etc.)
1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Slice your potato into fries (batons/sticks) about 1cm (1/3 inch) thick. Add them to a pot of rapidly boiling water with vinegar and cook for about 3-7 minutes until they are fork tender.
Note: You can also steam or microwave the fries instead if you want to retain more nutrients.
Strain the boiled potatoes and blanch them by either running them under cold water until they cool down, or by dunking them into an ice bath then strain all the water out.
Add the dried potatoes to your seasoned pot or pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until crispy on the bottom.
Flip the fries with a spatula, cook for 5 minutes or more. Then flip again and repeat for all remaining sides until all sides have a golden crispy crust.
Serve with a side of home made healthy ketchup or other dips & sauces you can find on substack.
Note: You can add extra vinegar to the ketchup or even dip them in vinegar (think malt vinegar if you're not-gluten free) to lower glycemic load even more.

Notes

I'm a fan of mojo/wedge fries because they only have 2-3 sides so there is less flipping
