Description

Crispy, golden Parmesan and Truffle Fries baked to perfection with a fragrant blend of garlic, parmesan cheese, and luxurious truffle oil. These fries are oven-baked for a healthier twist on a classic favorite and finished under the broiler for extra crispiness. Perfect as a sophisticated side dish or indulgent snack.

Ingredients

Fries

  • 1 lb russet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

Toppings

  • 2 tsp truffle oil
  • 2 tbsp finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a sheet pan inside the oven to heat up as it warms.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Cut the russet potatoes into thin fries approximately ¼ inch thick. Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Dry the Fries: Drain the water from the fries, then transfer them to a dish towel and thoroughly dry until no moisture remains. This step ensures crispiness.
  4. Season the Fries: Place the dried fries in a dry bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss the fries to evenly coat them with the seasoning and oil.
  5. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Remove the preheated sheet pan from the oven carefully. Drizzle it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking and add the fries, spreading them out evenly without overlapping for even cooking.
  6. Bake the Fries: Place the sheet pan back in the oven and bake the fries for 18-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning and ensure they become tender.
  7. Broil for Crispiness: Once the fries are cooked through, remove the pan and use a spatula to flip the fries. Turn the oven setting to broil. Return the fries to the oven and broil for a few minutes until they turn golden and crispy.
  8. Add Final Touches: Remove fries from the oven and immediately drizzle with truffle oil. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley on top for flavor and garnish. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Soaking the potatoes removes excess starch which helps produce crispy fries.
  • Drying the fries thoroughly before seasoning is crucial to avoid sogginess.
  • Using the broiler at the end enhances the crisp texture and golden color.
  • Adjust broiling time carefully to prevent burning as broilers work quickly.
  • Truffle oil is potent; add it last to preserve its aroma and flavor.
