Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) fingerling potatoes, sliced lengthwise to 1/4-inch thickness
- 2 cups distilled white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
- Prep the Potatoes:
In a small pot, combine the sliced potatoes, vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of kosher salt. Ensure that the vinegar covers the potatoes by at least 1/4 inch. If not, add cold water until fully submerged. - Cook the Potatoes:
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the potatoes cook until they are fork-tender, which should take about 8 minutes. - Cool the Potatoes:
Once cooked, remove the pot from the heat and let the potatoes cool in the vinegar liquid for 30 minutes. This will allow them to absorb even more of that delightful tangy flavor. - Drain and Dry:
After the potatoes have cooled, drain them well and pat them dry with paper towels. - Preheat the Broiler:
Set your broiler to preheat, positioning a rack about 6 inches below the heat source. - Season and Broil:
Arrange the potato slices on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of salt, and season with freshly ground black pepper. Toss everything to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer. - Broil to Perfection:
Broil the potatoes until they are lightly browned on top, about 7 minutes. Flip them over and broil the other side until they’re nicely browned, about 5 minutes more.
Tips for Success:
- Cool Time: Letting the potatoes sit in the vinegar mixture for 30 minutes enhances their flavor and makes them extra tangy. Don’t skip this step!
- Even Browning: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the sheet pan to ensure they broil evenly and get that irresistible golden crisp on both sides.
