Toppings

Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Cutting the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soaking the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.

  3. 3

    Drying the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

  4. 4

    Heating the Oil

    In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure that the oil is at the right temperature for frying.

  5. 5

    Frying the Potatoes

    Carefully add a handful of the dried potato strips to the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Draining the Fries

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season immediately with black truffle salt.

Adding Toppings

  1. 7

    Grating the Cheese

    Grate the manchego cheese using a box grater or food processor, and set aside.

  2. 8

    Assembling the Fries

    Once the fries are cooked and drained, transfer them to a large serving platter. Drizzle the truffle oil over the fries.

  3. 9

    Finishing Touches

    Sprinkle the grated manchego cheese on top of the fries, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

  4. 10

    Serving

    Serve the truffle fries warm, allowing guests to enjoy the decadent flavors.
