Potatoes

Method

Preparing the Frites

  1. 1

    Cut and Soak the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips. Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Dry and Fry the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Fry them in batches in the hot oil until they are golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

  4. 4

    Season the Frites

    Remove the frites from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, season with salt and black pepper.

Making the Truffle Mayo

  1. 5

    Mix Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, truffle oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until smooth.
