Ready to Craft Your Dreamy Parmesan Truffle Fries? Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

• For the Fries:
  • 2 large russet potatoes (about 1 pound) 
  • Vegetable oil for frying, or enough for baking 
  • Salt, to taste 
• For the Parmesan Truffle Topping:
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons truffle oil
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Optional Garnishes: Freshly chopped parsley, chives, or truffle shavings

Directions:

Step 1

Prep the Fries: Wash and dry the potatoes. Cut them into even matchstick-sized fries. You can use a knife or a mandoline for even thickness.

Step 2

Choose Your Cooking Method:

• Deep-Frying (for extra crispy fries): Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the fries in batches and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. (Deep fry truffle fries)
• Baking (for a healthier option): Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the fries with a tablespoon of vegetable oil and season with salt. Bake for 20-22 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until golden brown and crispy. (Baked truffle fries)

Step 3

Time for the Truffle Magic: While the fries are hot, toss them in a large bowl with the grated Parmesan cheese and truffle oil. Season with freshly cracked black pepper to taste.

Step 4

Presentation is Key: Plate your Parmesan Truffle Fries and garnish with fresh parsley, chives, or a sprinkle of truffle shavings (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

 For Perfect Parmesan Truffle Fries:

• Fresh is Best: Use fresh potatoes for the best flavor and texture.
• Double Fry for Extra Crisp (Deep-Frying Method): For an extra crispy result, fry the potatoes twice. After the initial cook at 350°F (175°C), let them cool slightly, then crank the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Pan (Deep-Frying Method): When deep-frying, cook the fries in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can result in soggy fries.
• Adjust the Truffle Oil: Truffle oil can be potent. Start with a tablespoon and add more to taste if desired.
• Leftovers? Leftover fries can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, reheating may affect their crispness.
