Method

Preparing the Potatoes

  1. 1

    Cutting the Potatoes

    Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Cut the potatoes into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to resemble fries.

  2. 2

    Soaking the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch and will make the fries crispier.

  3. 3

    Drying the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.

Frying the Potatoes

  1. 4

    Heating the Oil

    In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a deep-fry thermometer to check the temperature.

  2. 5

    Frying the Potatoes

    Carefully add a handful of dried potato strips into the hot oil. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

  3. 6

    Draining the Fries

    Remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Sprinkle with salt immediately while they are still hot.

Final Touches

  1. 7

    Seasoning the Fries

    In a large mixing bowl, toss the hot fries with truffle oil, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  2. 8

    Serving

    Serve the truffle fries immediately while hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
