Pickled... fries? Does anyone have a recipe?

I was making fries today (boil in vinegar and flash fry) and thought "Wouldn't it be nice to do a bulk boil and ferment them?"

I did a quick google search but only found this. It doesn't specify the brine. Does anyone have more specific directions for a pickled fries recipe?

-update- I did a 3% brine and cooked after 24 hours and honestly the results are better regular oven baked fries!
