Inspired by the popular English tradition of serving fries with malt vinegar, these air-fryer pub fries are a winning, crispy, zero-fat snack. In this recipe, vinegar is also used to soak the potatoes, which ensures a crisp exterior and a pillowy-soft interior. After air-frying, sprinkle with fresh chives, and serve with extra malt vinegar for dipping. These are excellent as a side dish to go with a veggie burger or as a snack.

Tips

Gluten-free version: Use distilled white vinegar instead of malt vinegar.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb. russet potatoes, cut lengthwise into ½-inch wedges
  • 2 cups malt vinegar or distilled white vinegar
  • 2 cups ice cubes
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • Chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  • Place potatoes in a large bowl. Add vinegar, ice cubes, and enough cold water to cover. Chill in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. Drain potatoes; blot dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.
  • Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Working in batches, arrange potato wedges in a single layer on a double-thickness of foil trimmed to fit air-fryer basket. Transfer wedges with foil to air-fryer basket. Air-fry 18 minutes or until browned and crispy, turning once halfway through cooking. Keep warm in a 200°F oven while air-frying the rest.
  • Sprinkle fries with chives and serve with additional malt vinegar for dipping.
