For the Guinea fowl: Cut breasts from the bone and separate legs. Rinse meat and pat dry. Rub with salt and pepper.
Rinse herbs and pat dry. Place herbs on the flesh side of the meat and tie with kitchen twine.
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or roasting pan. Fry meat until brown on the skin side, then turn on the flesh side with the herbs and fry briefly.
Deglaze with vinegar and roast in preheated oven at 175°C (gas mark 2, circulating air: 160°C) (approximately 350°F) for 20-25 minutes. Baste occasionally with cooking juices.
For the potatoes: Peel potatoes, rinse and cut into thin slices first (Step 1), then cut into thin sticks. Mix potatoes with starch (Step 2). Heat frying oil to 175°C (approximately 350°F) and fry potatoes in portions until brown (Step 3).
Drain on paper towel, then season with salt. Serve together with the guinea fowl.
