Have you ever tried these Salt and Vinegar Crispy Fried Potato Slices. They are a great way to serve potatoes as an appetizer or side.
My grandmother, Nanny, always used left over potatoes and fried them up with onions. We ate them with vinegar, and I loved them almost more than anything in the world. These are not quite like that, but my kids love these.
Traditionally when we had them growing up it was on a Monday using leftover potatoes from the dinner on Sunday. Try them and love them like we do!
Notes About The Potatoes
- These are just partially boiled potatoes, cut into slices and fried. Seriously easy.
- Make sure you get good sized potatoes to this recipe. Look for the Russet type. Large potatoes that usually have a roughish exterior. They are great in frying.
- Vegetable oil is preferable. It’s heats up to a higher temperature and you will get a crisper potato. So try to avoid olive oil
Well, that about sums up the potatoes friends. As always, thanks for coming by on this recipe sharing journey with me. I hope you get a chance to try out the potatoes sometime and enjoy them just as much as we do.

Crispy Fried Potato Slices
Ingredients
- 5 large potatoes washed with skins left on
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Sea salt
- Vinegar
Instructions
- Put the potatoes in a large pot of boiling water and cook them for about 10-12 minutes. You are looking to lightly soften the potatoes but not cook them. Remove and drain and leave to cool for a few minutes. Once the potatoes are cooled enough to handle, cut them into about 1/2 inch slices. Lay them all out on a large plate.
- Heat about 2 inches of the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Bring the oil up to temperate. Once your oil is hot enough, add the potatoes in batches. Fill the bottom of the skillet but don’t overlap the potatoes. Fry them on each side for about 3-5 minutes. They should be golden brown and crispy. Remove from pan and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat for remaining potatoes.
- Shake salt and vinegar all over the potatoes to give them a good coating. Serve immediately.
