These Crispy Salt-and-Vinegar Potatoes are made with 4 simple pantry ingredients to take potatoes from the usual everyday to wow. The best crispy potatoes recipe!

I’m in potato love. I’ve made this recipe at least twice per month since it came out. The potatoes are crispy on the outside with a soft fluffy interior seasoned with flaky sea salt and vinegar. It’s the best fish and chips you’ll eat without the fish.

This recipe is so good that ketchup can be tagged out of the game and left in the fridge for other use.

We eat a ton of potatoes around here … I’m Scottish what can I say? My go to of a quick bake in the oven with olive oil, seasoning salt, and crushed red pepper flakes has been formally replaced by this recipe.

The tang of vinegar with the salt is totally reminiscent of salt and vinegar chips, but a way healthier version.

The best part of this recipe is how responsive everyone is to it. It is well loved by kids and adults alike from the tangy vinegar and saltiness coming together for a perfection of potato flavour.

Tips for the ultimate crispy potatoes?

The potatoes need to be drained and then immediately placed back into the hot pot so that the hot steam dried the exterior of the potatoes. This drying process is what allows the potatoes to become fully coated in fat (butter or oil) and will result in a very crispy exterior. This one small step is well worth the 5 seconds it takes.
