Fries

Method

Prepare the Fries

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide, to create uniform fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and ensures crispiness.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the water and pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove as much moisture as possible.

Fry the Potatoes

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a handful of dried potatoes into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  3. 6

    Drain Excess Oil

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt.

Finish and Serve

  1. 7

    Drizzle with Truffle Oil

    Once all fries are fried and drained, drizzle the truffle oil over the hot fries, making sure to cover them evenly.

  2. 8

    Add Parmesan and Parsley

    Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the fries, followed by the chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

  3. 9

    Serve Immediately

    Serve the truffle fries hot, garnished with additional Parmesan or parsley if desired.
