Method
Preparation
- 1
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to make them crispier when fried.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.

Dry the Potatoes
Once the potatoes have soaked, drain and pat them dry using paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of dried potato strips into the hot oil. Fry for about 5-6 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pot.

Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
Finishing Touch

Add Truffle Oil
Drizzle the truffle oil over the hot fries and toss gently to coat them evenly. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
