Bistro Fries Ingredients

Method

Bistro Fries Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide, to resemble fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

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

  3. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  4. 4

    Dry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.

  5. 5

    Season the Fries

    In a large bowl, combine the dried potato strips with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the fries are evenly coated.

  6. 6

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  7. 7

    Bake the Fries

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden and crispy.

  8. 8

    Add Parmesan and Parsley

    Once out of the oven, immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot fries. Add chopped parsley for garnish.

  9. 9

    Drizzle with Truffle Oil

    Drizzle the fries with truffle oil for an elevated flavor.

  10. 10

    Serve

    Serve the Bistro Fries hot with ketchup on the side for dipping.
