Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to form the fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). This is the ideal temperature for frying.

  2. 4

    Fry the Fries

    Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with paper towels. Carefully add them to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.

  3. 5

    Drain and Season

    Once the fries are cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Add Truffle Oil and Parmesan

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

  2. 7

    Garnish with Parsley

    Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle over the fries for a burst of color and flavor.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Transfer the truffle fries to a serving platter and enjoy immediately while hot!
