    "[Potatoes \\[link\\]](/plants/3fab24ae-df0e-4f06-bf74-717981f18157), cut into fries\n",
    "FOR BOILING\n",
    "8 cups water\n",
    "1 teaspoon salt\n",
    "1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar\n",

    "Olive oil (about 2 tablespoons per pound of potatoes)\n",

  "method": "*   Adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven, we’ll be pre-heating it inside the oven.\n*   Preheat the oven to 425˚F.\n*   Fill a big pot with water, salt like it’s the sea. Add the apple cider vinegar too.\n*   Boil until the fries are just starting to become tender, about 8-10 minutes.\n*   Drain but leave the potatoes in the pot.\n*   MAYBE - try patting the fries dry first? Or not. Leaving them in the hot pot seems like it might evaporate some of the water?\n*   Add to the pot a bit more olive oil than you think. Season with salt and pepper to taste.\n*   Give the pot a few gentle shakes. This shaking should mush up the potatoes just a little bit. Take care not to mush them up too much.\n*   Remove the pre-heated baking sheet from the oven.\n*   Spread the fries on the pre-heated baking sheet.\n*   Cook for 20 minutes, then turn the fries over, then cook for another 20-25 minutes. (You could experiment with not turning the fries over, apparently that might work fine).\n",
  "notes": "*   Trying to synthesize two different techniques:\n*   Boiling in salted acidulated water - <https://www.eatingwell.com/recipe/7887708/crispy-oven-baked-fries/>\n*   “Roughing up” the boiled fries before baking - <https://mykitchenlittle.com/2022/02/23/how-to-make-baked-french-fries-crispiest-method/#How_to_Make_Baked_French_Fries_Crispiest_Method>\n*   Haven’t tried this yet. I feel like getting this right would be awesome. I love fries, and even if they’re not the best food ever, potatoes are a nice cheap source of calories. Might also be neat to try to transfer the cooking technique here to sweet potatoes.\n",
