Pop into almost any pub in the British Isles and you have a good chance of finding potato “chips” (what we in the U.S. call French fries) tossed with salt and vinegar. Here we’ve adapted the concept into salt-and-vinegar roasted potatoes that have the same addictive salty-sour quality – but made ever-so-slightly healthier. Pour a pint of British beer, turn on a Premier League match, and set out a plate of these potatoes with your favorite dipping sauce. You’re ready for a good time.
If you want to make a full pub grub meal of it, consider serving the salt-and-vinegar roasted potatoes along with a main course of “tofush,” a veg version of the typical fish on a fish and chips platter. Try our tofush recipe, adapted from Alastair Choat of the famed Coach and Horses pub in the SoHo neighborhood of London.
