Ingredients
- 3 large baking potatoes (russet potatoes)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp truffle oil
- ⅓ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Fresh parsley and ketchup for serving optional
Instructions
To Make In The Oven
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF / 200ºC and line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash the potatoes and cut them into fries’ shape.
- Place the cut potatoes into a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add the minced garlic, garlic powder, salt and half of the parmesan.
- Mix until all potatoes are coated.
- Transfer onto a baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown on top. You can flip the fries halfway through baking.
- Once the fries are baked, drizzled with truffle oil, rest of the parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately with ketchup or any other sauce you like.
To Deep Fry
- Prep your potatoes, cut into sticks (according to the directions above).
- Soak your potatoes in cold water for a couple minutes to remove some of the starch content.
- Fill a large pot about halfway full with a high-temperature cooking oil (like coconut oil, avocado oil, canola oil, vegetable oil). Heat the oil - you'll want the to be about 300-350 degrees F.
- To your hot oil, slowly add your unseasoned fries a handful at a time and allow to cook for 5 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The longer you cook them, the more brown and crispy they will get!
- Remove your golden fries from the oil with a slotted spoon, drip dry, and drain by placing them on paper towels to remove excessive oil.
- Transfer to a bowl, coat in minced garlic, truffle oil, parmesan cheese, salt, and fresh parsley until the fries are evenly covered. Serve and enjoy!
To Air Fry
- To make these crispy fries in the air fryer, prepare and season your potatoes as normal. Instead of placing the fries on a baking sheet, transfer them to the basket of an air fryer. Air fry your garlic parmesan truffle fries at 375°F for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- You can double the ingredients if you want a bigger portion!
- Make sure to choose a vegetarian parmesan cheese (with vegetarian rennet) to keep this recipe veggie friendly.
- To cut the potato into fries place the potato on side and cut side down into thin slices. Then cut slices into fries. (See video instructions)
