Truffle Fries are a gourmet upgrade to classic fries, tossed with aromatic truffle oil, Parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs. Crispy, rich, and indulgent, they make the perfect side dish or elevated snack.

Ingredients

  • 4 large Russet potatoes
  • Vegetable oil (for frying, about 4 cups)
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons truffle oil (white or black)
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or truffle salt

Instructions

  1. Wash, peel (optional), and cut the potatoes into ¼ inch thick sticks.
  2. Place the cut potatoes in cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. Drain and pat completely dry.
  3. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 300°F (150°C). Fry the potatoes in small batches for 4–5 minutes until just tender but not browned. Remove and drain.
  4. Increase oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry again in batches for 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Place fries in a large bowl. Drizzle with truffle oil and toss gently to coat.
  6. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan, chopped parsley (if using), and any optional seasonings. Toss again.
  7. Serve immediately while hot and fragrant.

Notes

  • Use truffle oil sparingly—too much can overpower the dish.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan melts and coats the fries better than pre-packaged varieties.
  • Double frying ensures the fries stay crispy even after tossing with oil.
  • Add a dipping sauce like truffle aioli for an extra gourmet touch.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven, not the microwave, to maintain crispiness.
