1
Cutting the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
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
Drying the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

4
Heating the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
5
Frying the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of dried potato strips to the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
6
Draining the Fries
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt.

7
Adding Toppings
Once all fries are fried, place them in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with truffle oil and toss to coat evenly.
8
Adding Parmesan and Herbs
Grate the parmesan cheese and add it to the fries along with chopped fresh parsley and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.
