Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Cutting the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin shoestring fries.

  2. 2

    Frying the Fries

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

Making the Champagne Sauce

  1. 3

    Sautéing Shallots

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced shallots and sauté until translucent.

  2. 4

    Reducing Champagne

    Add the champagne to the pan and let it simmer until reduced by half.

  3. 5

    Finishing the Sauce

    Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 6

    Combining Components

    On a serving platter, arrange the hot shoestring fries. Top with cheese curds.

  2. 7

    Drizzling Sauce

    Generously drizzle the champagne sauce over the fries and cheese curds.

  3. 8

    Finishing Touches

    Drizzle with truffle oil and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
