How to Make Somewhat Health Ified English Chip Shop Style Oven Chips

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Scrub 1 large russet potato thoroughly and cut into even, 1/2-inch thick fries using a french fry cutter or knife. (For one serving, use half a potato).
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar (or malt vinegar for extra flavor).
Add the cut potatoes to a large bowl and toss to coat evenly with the oil-vinegar mixture.
Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Ensure they aren’t overcrowded to allow for even crisping.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven, gently toss the chips, and return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
For extra crispy chips, broil for the final 5-10 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. Shake the pan occasionally.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (malt vinegar highly recommended!).
