He mentioned that adding some vinegar to the potatoes while cooking helps them maintain their structure. Does anybody happen to know why?
I don't know the exact science behind it, but something about the acidity changes the way the pectin in the potatoes breaks down. J. Kenji Lopez-Alt of Serious Eats, in his "Perfect French Fries"...

Kenji Lopez-Alt of Serious Eats, in his "Perfect French Fries" project did a bunch of experimentation with boiled potatoes and the difference between cooking them in water with and without vinegar was actually pretty startling (ctrl-f "water spiked with vinegar"):

Cool, thanks.
What I am making for dinner tonight after watching this.
Damn, I love tacos and I have made that chimichurri a few times.
Okay I will say that it looks delicious, but in this is no way "basics". This is like 5am chili type shit (sorry it's an old reddit meme)
Its 2am chili btw.
Crap, I have been a redditor far to long, I knew exactly where to find that (its from 7 years ago btw).
Sigh, here you go (although if I remeber correctly that post spawned tons more).
EDIT: wait, this one came first
Fucking ice-soap; I don't even remember the last time I thought about that one.
You're welcome.
No that isn't it! Someone made a bar of soap out of chili and had pictures of them using it. Nice execution though.
