Addicting Salt & Vinegar potatoes are everything you love about the chips and more because of the tender fluffy potato interior. When I saw this recipe on Bon Appetit’s Twitter page, I scrounged around the kitchen and made sure I had the ingredients to make them that same day! One of the benefits of having a very well stocked kitchen is I almost always can make a recipe work without having to make a trip to the store. This recipe lived up to the hype!
Combine potatoes, 1 cup vinegar, and 1 Tbsp. kosher salt in a medium saucepan. Add water until it is covered and has about an extra inch of water on top.
Simmer potatoes gently until cooked through and soft but not falling apart.
Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. 
Cook potatoes until browned and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Patience is the key here.
Don’t stir too often, you want them to brown nicely and the more you stir the less they will brown and the more they will fall apart.
Put into serving bowel and lightly pour remaining two tablespoons of vinegar over the potatoes.
Give the potatoes a final sprinkle of kosher salt and serve!

Needed a splash of vinegar after cooking but came out really tasty. Easy new potato recipe! Thanks!
Appreciate your feedback!
Any tips on serving? Would this be best as a side dish or an appetizer? Are there any dipping sauces that compliment it? Thanks!
Hi Chrissy,
Sorry for the late response. It’s been a super busy Summer. I would use these potatoes as a side dish. I don’t use dipping sauces with this recipe but I imagine many would enjoy the traditional sauces like catsup or bbq or even ranch. What did you end up using?
Could you use an air fryer to brown the potatoes instead of a skillet.
I’m sure you could. I haven’t tested the recipe using an air fryer so I’m reluctant to give you a “best guess” on temp and time. If you try it, let us know how it turned out!
Youve got all these comments yet none of them actually tried making the recipe . Not helpful at all.
How I just discovered your site, I HAVE no idea! Where have I been?! I sure am glad I did though, because I LOVE where your food blogger head is at! 😉 salt and vinegar chips are my FAV! (<– I have salt n vinegar wings on my site – great minds) So naturally, your crispy salt and vinegar potatoes have me drooling! Love these, and totally making them! Thanks for sharing the yum! Cheers!
Cheyanne, I am so glad you found me!! I am totally heading over to look at those chicken wings, I too am a total sucker for salt and vinegar chips! Also just noticed you are also in the CCN, how cool is that?!
Oh these look fantastic! I love salt and vinegar. These would be a great side dish.
Good gracious. Those just made me hungry. I had no plans for making potatoes and now I want some.

Thanks! Hope you like them too. I think these potatoes are going to be in our regular rotation. They were so easy to make and the flavors were so bright. We’ve already made them a second time since this weekend.
First off, I love potatoes! I love fried potatoes, and I love salt & vinegar chips… but I’ve never made my own salt and vinegar potatoes before. I will be making them very soon, now!

I love vinegar on potatoes. This is a nice sounding recipe, I bet everyone in the house would like it here.
Yummy! My mom used to make these when I was younger. I always looked forward to them. Now I am make the faux fried version by baking them in the oven.
A lot healthier! Love that idea!
You can’t go wrong with potatoes as a side dish. They are always popular with my family, and fill us with warm, happy feelings. These sound delicious.

Me too! Now if only I could figure out a way to reproduce cheddar and sour cream potatoes!
Those look like potatoes my grandma used to make for breakfast. I love the crispy part!
Me too! I also make crispy bottomed rice, the crispy part of everything is the best!

We are a potato loving family, so these would be a HUGE hit with my family. I might sprinkle a little dill over them when they are done, too!
That sounds delicious! Hope you like them!

They are definitely similar to the chip flavor. I was so pleasantly surprised.
These sound so tasty. Crispy potatoes are my weakness.
Me too!

Those look so good! This is a far healthier version of frying than we do in the south.
Thanks! I love Southern cooking, was just looking at a strawberry biscuit shortcake online that was deep fried!
What an awesome side dish! These sound really delicious.
Thanks!
