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

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.
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.
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.

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.
8
Serving
Serve the truffle fries immediately while hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
