Truffle Parmesan Fries (Printable Version)

Golden crispy fries elevated with aromatic truffle oil and freshly grated Parmesan cheese for an indulgent side.

# What You'll Need:

→ Potatoes

01 - 1.5 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
04 - 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Seasoning & Garnish

05 - 2 tablespoons truffle oil
06 - 0.33 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
07 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
08 - Salt to taste

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain thoroughly and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
03 - In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
04 - Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
05 - Remove the fries from the oven and immediately transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle with truffle oil and toss well to coat.
06 - Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, then toss again. Season with additional salt if desired.
07 - Serve the fries hot and enjoy immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They taste like something you'd order at a bistro but come together in your own kitchen with zero fuss.
  • The truffle oil adds an unexpected depth that makes even picky eaters ask what your secret is.
  • Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and covered in salty Parmesan, these fries check every craving box.
02 -
  • Skipping the soak or not drying the potatoes thoroughly will leave you with limp, pale fries instead of crispy golden ones.
  • Adding the truffle oil before baking will burn off the delicate flavor, always toss it on after they come out of the oven.
03 -
  • Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to cut your fries as evenly as possible so they cook at the same rate and you don't end up with burnt bits and undercooked chunks.
  • If you have an air fryer, cook the fries at 400°F for 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, for even crispier results with less oil.
