Cut a small piece off the potato to create a sturdy base.

Cut the potatoes into french fry size strips (no specific measurement given).

Set aside the round parts of the potatoes to cut later.

Do not soak the potato strips in water; just wash them.

Heat peanut oil in a deep fryer to 325°F.

Deep fry the potato strips in batches for about 3-5 minutes until soft but not crispy.

Remove the fries and check if they are cooked through; they should give in when squeezed.

Shake off excess oil and transfer the fries to a second deep fryer set to 365°F.

Fry the potatoes in the hotter oil until they are brown and crispy (about 3 minutes).

Remove the fries and place them in a bowl.

Sprinkle regular table salt on the fries while they are still hot.

Drizzle malt vinegar over the fries before serving.
