White vinegar
Oil for deep frying
Salt

Place cut fries in bowl or casserole dish and cover with vinegar.
Allow to soak for 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, allow oil to heat to 325.
Drain chips and (IMPORTANT) pat dry. If they are dripping wet the oil with bubble over and you'll maybe almost burn the house down (we know from experience).
You will be frying the potatoes twice. Fry them first only until they are just blonde, about 4 minutes, then drain on paper towels.
Raise temperature of oil to 375 or slightly higher, and fry for an additional 2 minutes until golden and crispy.
