Malt Vinegar Fries Recipe
Fries are my weakness. Really, any type of potato.
From fast food favorites such as McDonald’s to the plethora of do-it-yourself versions you can find online from both amateurs and professionals, there’s no shortage of different varieties one can explore to find their favorite.
My favorite I’ve found is from my favorite cooking show: America’s Test Kitchen.
Naturally, after releasing my Flower City Flavor Company Bourbon Barrel Malt Vinegar, aged in barrels from Iron Smoke Distillery, I needed a recipe to showcase the traditional way to incorporate malt vinegar.
We created a masterful, yet simple, recipe that will make you never skip out on french fries again with our malt vinegar.
Enjoy this malt vinegar fries recipe (and be sure to also check out the malt vinegar aioli recipe at the end of this recipe too)!
Ingredients:
- 2.5 lbs Russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
- ¼ cup Arbequina Estate Grown Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ¼ cup Bourbon Barrel Malt Vinegar
- 1.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 1.5 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper

Malt Vinegar Fries Recipe Instructions
1. Cut potatoes into ¼-inch wedges.

2. Combine potatoes and the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl until well combined.

Fries were crispy and the malt vinegar flavor really shined. My family loved it!
So so good. The Flower City Malt vinegar is awesome and this recipe will be the only one I use moving forward when I make homemade fries.
I made it and it was delicious.
