Fries
Truffle & Lemon Aioli
Method
Fries
- 1
- 2
Soak
Place rinsed fries in a large bowl of cold water and refrigerate or let sit for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours) to further remove starch. This yields crisper fries.
- 3
Dry and toss with cornstarch
Drain the fries and spread on clean kitchen towels or paper towels. Pat thoroughly dry. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons cornstarch until evenly coated. The cornstarch helps create a crisp crust.

Second fry (crisp)
Increase oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Return cooled fries to hot oil in batches and fry for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Drain on fresh paper towels and immediately season with 1 teaspoon fine sea salt and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, tossing gently to coat.
- 6
Finish with Parmesan, parsley and truffle
While fries are still hot, transfer to a serving bowl or platter. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan (3 oz) evenly over the fries so it warms and slightly melts. Toss gently to distribute. Add chopped parsley and, if using, sprinkle 1 teaspoon truffle zest or finely grated fresh truffle. Toss once more and serve immediately alongside the aioli.

Combine ingredients
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard and 1 teaspoon minced garlic until smooth.

Season and add truffle flavor
Stir in 1 teaspoon truffle oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust: add more lemon for brightness, more truffle oil for earthiness (add sparingly — truffle flavor is potent), or more salt as needed.

Chill
Cover and refrigerate the aioli for at least 15 minutes to let flavors meld. Bring to room temperature for 10 minutes before serving if desired.

Serve
Serve aioli in a small bowl beside the hot truffle parm fries for dipping. Garnish aioli with a light sprinkle of lemon zest or a few drops of truffle oil if desired.
