Fries

Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

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

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

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

  3. 3

    Dry the Fries

    After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove as much moisture as possible.

Frying the Fries

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

  2. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a handful of dried fries to the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches for about 4-5 minutes or until golden and crispy.

  3. 6

    Drain the Fries

    Once fried, remove the fries with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt immediately.

Finishing Touches

  1. 7

    Mix the Truffle Oil Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the truffle oil, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 8

    Toss the Fries

    Once all fries are fried and drained, add them to the truffle oil mixture. Toss gently to coat the fries evenly with the mixture.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Transfer the truffle fries to a serving platter and enjoy immediately while hot.
