Fries

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thick strips, about 1/2 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, drizzle with truffle oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chopped chives. Toss to coat evenly.
