Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 2 lbs russet potatoes, cut into thin fries
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Topping
- 2 tbsp truffle oil
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Soak Potatoes: Place the cut potato fries in cold water and soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve a crispier fry.
- Dry Fries: Drain the potatoes thoroughly and pat them completely dry using paper towels to avoid sogginess during baking.
- Season Fries: Toss the dried fries with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated to ensure flavor and crispiness.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking.
- Bake Fries: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning, until fries are golden brown and crispy.
- Toss with Toppings: Remove the hot fries from the oven and immediately toss them with truffle oil, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley to coat evenly and infuse flavor.
- Serve: Serve the Parmesan Truffle Fries right away for the best taste and crispy texture.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure fries are dried thoroughly before baking.
- Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and melting quality.
- Adjust truffle oil amount to taste, as it has a strong flavor.
- These fries are best enjoyed fresh and hot; leftovers may lose crispness.
- Russet potatoes are ideal for fries due to their high starch content.
