Method

Preparation & Cooking Fries

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and cut the russet potatoes into thin fries. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, toss the fries with salt and a little bit of vegetable oil until well coated.

  3. 3

    Spread the fries evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Making Cheese Sauce

  1. 4

    Prepare the Roux

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2-3 minutes until it turns a light golden color.

  2. 5

    Add Milk and Cheese

    Gradually whisk in the milk, making sure there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the white cheddar and pecorino cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.

  3. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the truffle oil and season with black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 7

    Once the fries are cooked, place them on a serving platter. Drizzle the cheese sauce generously over the fries.

  2. 8

    Garnish with chopped parsley and additional pecorino cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
