This recipe turns the classic potato-chip flavor into a dinner party-worthy side dish. The potatoes get a double hit of vinegar: First, they are roasted in a simple vinaigrette, then are tossed with another smack of acidity just before serving. Use white-wine vinegar for a stronger vinegar flavor, or apple cider vinegar if you want a subtler flavor.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar, kosher salt and pepper. Place the potatoes on a sheet pan, pour the oil and vinegar mixture over them, and toss well. Arrange the potatoes cut-side down.

  2. Step 2

    Roast until tender when pierced with a fork, 35 to 40 minutes, tossing potatoes two or three times during roasting process.

  3. Step 3

    Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar to the cooked potatoes and toss. Season to taste, and add more vinegar if desired. Sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt and chives, and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve immediately.

Honey

Tossing on s sheet pan is a pain. Throw it all in a bowl, toss and spread on a sheet pan. No big deal to wash the bowl!

Any time I roast Yukons I put the cut pieces through several changes of water to remove the starch. Really helps to crisp the outsides.

To my sincere regrets, I have still not figured out how to "toss" ingredients on a sheet pan. Woe is me.

Sally

Exactly the kind of recipe I like – something simple that I can riff on. For an easy snack, I cut 2 Desiree potatoes into small (and uneven) wedges. Whisked malt vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper in a bowl then added the potato wedges and used my hands to toss to coat (I didn’t know this would be a point of discussion until I read the comments while happily eating my wedges). Poured into my air fryer basket, lined with baking paper. Air fried at 200 degrees Celsius for 25 mins. Sprinkled with flaky salt while hot, another swig of malt vinegar to the original mixing bold, poured the potatoes on top to serve as a solo snack. Yum.

These were extraordinary! The texture was perfect, and I usually parboil but no need! The high heat and smaller size are definitely worth it. Dinner guests loved them.

Love this recipe but it needs way more than 30 minutes. I know ovens differ but mine always take an hour at 430.
