Equipment

  • Vegetable Peeler
  • Cutting Board
  • paring knife
  • large bowl
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 russet potatoes peeled and cut into thin even french fries
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon truffle oil white or back truffle oil to taste
  • 1 -2 tablespoons parsley finely chopped
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • aioli *optional, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Using a vegetable peeler or paring knife, peel the potatoes. Note: if you prefer, you can leave the potato skins on.
  • Next, slice the peeled potatoes into thin long strips. Be sure that the fries are uniform in size so that they cook easily.
  • Fill a large bowl with cold water. Place the fries into the large mixing bowl filled with water and allow them to soak for the recommended time (30 minutes). This step is necessary to remove some of the excess starch so that the fries cook evenly and come out crispy.
  • Once the fries are finished soaking, use paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to dry them.
  • Transfer the dried fries to the prepared sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Drizzle olive oil over top of the fries and toss to ensure that they are completely coated. 
  • After tossing, arrange fries in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • Place fries in the preheated oven. Bake for half of the cooking time (15 minutes). Then, use a spatula to flip the fries and return them to the oven to finish cooking. 
  • When the fries are golden brown, remove them from the oven and season immediately with salt and pepper.Then, drizzle a little truffle oil over top of the fries.
  • Garnish with parmesan and fresh parsley and serve immediately with aioli or your preferred dipping sauce. 

Notes

expert tips

While this is a fairly easy recipe, there are a few tips and tricks to make sure you get the best results. 
  • Avoid overcrowding. Place the fries in the pan in a single layer with enough room in between so that the oven’s hot air can reach the sides -- this will ensure you wind up with crispy fries. 
  • Try not to skip the soaking step. Even though it’s hard when you’re in a hurry, it can make all the difference between having crispy, evenly cooked fries or having gummy or mushy ones -- you can even soak them overnight if you want to save time the next day.
  • Make sure to use cold water when soaking. Warm water will not yield the same results.
  • While we recommend you enjoy these fries while they’re fresh, if you happen to have leftovers you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, allow them to reach room temperature and then heat them up in the oven, toaster oven, or even your air fryer.
