Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Seasoning
- 2 lbs russet potatoes, cut into thin fries
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Oils and Toppings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp truffle oil
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Soak Potatoes: Soak the cut potato fries in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve crispiness during baking.
- Dry Fries: Drain the soaked fries and pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels to avoid sogginess and promote even cooking.
- Season Fries: Toss the dry fries in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated for balanced seasoning and crisp texture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for proper roasting.
- Bake Fries: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crispness.
- Add Toppings: Remove the fries from the oven and immediately toss them with truffle oil, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley to evenly distribute the flavors while the fries are hot.
- Serve: Serve the Parmesan Truffle Fries immediately to enjoy their best flavor and crispy texture.
Notes
- Soaking the potatoes is essential to remove starch and ensure crispy fries.
- Patting dry thoroughly before baking prevents soggy fries.
- Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and melt quality.
