I like to take apple cider vinegar mainly for its health benefits on the body.

Hi Megan. I am sorry to hear that the fries turned black! I have a gas oven so perhaps that is the difference. I would recommend checking the fries every 7-10 minutes to see how they are coming along. Once they are golden, then I would take them out of the oven. If you have a fan force oven it tends to run hotter. Good luck!

Hi, thanks for the recipe! I followed it but after 45 mins. ended up with BLACK smoking sticks! perhaps I shouldn’t have used a dark cooking sheet?? you keep the oven at 480 the whole time? I’d like to give it another go!

if there’s one thing I always mess up on.. it’s making sweet potato fries. Idk what it is about them but I always mess up. BUT your recipe is slightly different and I’m ready and eager to try it out – thanks for the recipe! hopefully it changes things for me!

That is really a remarkable photo… I don’t think I’ve seen a still life quite like it… spooky, isn’t it? Love the salt and vinegar fries… i love my chips that way too!

I thought daguerreotypes were only portraits. Very interesting history lesson.
