Notes
-
- My #1 Secret Tip for making my parmesan truffle fries is to give them space. I always spread the fries out in a single layer on the baking sheet so they get perfectly crispy. If they’re crowded or overlapping, they steam instead of roast, and no one wants soggy fries when they’re craving that golden crunch.
- How to cut fries: I slice the potato lengthwise into thin planks, then cut those into fry-sized strips about half an inch wide. It only takes a few minutes and makes the fries cook evenly.
-
- Choose quality truffle oil: I always look for all natural truffle oil because it has a more balanced, earthy flavor. The synthetic kind can taste too strong and overpower everything else.
-
- In a rush? To air fry, season the potatoes and place them in the air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F for 13 to 15 minutes until crispy and golden.
-
- Classic cooking: To deep fry, cut your potatoes into sticks and soak them in cold water to remove starch. Heat oil to 300 to 350°F, then fry the potatoes in batches for about 5 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels, then toss with garlic, truffle oil, parmesan, salt, and parsley before serving.
