Fries

Method

Fries Preparation

  1. 1

    Cutting and Soaking Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Drying and Frying

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

  3. 3

    Seasoning

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt immediately while they are still hot.

Béarnaise Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Making the Reduction

    In a small saucepan, combine shallots, white wine vinegar, and white wine. Cook over medium heat until reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 5

    Preparing the Sauce

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the cooled reduction. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes pale.

  3. 6

    Incorporating Butter

    Slowly drizzle in the melted unsalted butter while continuously whisking until the sauce is thick and creamy. Stir in chopped tarragon, salt, and black pepper.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Combining Ingredients

    Place the hot fries on a serving platter. Drizzle the béarnaise sauce generously over the fries.

  2. 8

    Finishing Touches

    Drizzle the white truffle oil over the fries, then sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese and sliced scallions on top.

  3. 9

    Serving

    Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Béarnaise Truffle Fries!
