French Fries
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- 2
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel to ensure they are moisture-free.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- 5
Season with Truffle Salt
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with truffle salt to taste. Toss gently to ensure even seasoning.
- 6
Garnish (Optional)
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
