These homemade truffle fries are taken to the next level with the addition of parmesan and truffle oil in this recipe. Once you try these, you won’t want a regular french fry again

These fries would be perfect when served up with my steak frites or alongside my classic cheeseburger recipe.

Truffle Fries

Parmesan truffle fries are a simple recipe that combines white truffle oil, parmesan cheese, and French fries. White truffle oil is a neutral oil, like canola, or safflower oil, that has been infused with white truffle peelings. In fact, you will usually see a small white truffle shaving at the bottom of the oil.

Truffle fries serve as a great side dish to a myriad of meals and will definitely impress guests and family with these simple extra steps to greatly enhance the flavor of regular French fries.

What Are Truffles?

Truffles are a mushroom and come in two colors, white and black. While alba truffles are native to Italy and can cost up to $1,600 a pound. Black truffles are indigenous to France and are much cheaper, but also do not have the intense mushroom flavor as the white ones do.

The combination of the distinct white truffle oil flavor will greatly enhance these fries, and also is great as a finishing oil on things like risotto or even fettuccine alfredo.

Ingredients and Substitutions

• French Fries – Definitely use my pommes frites recipe for this.
• Truffle Oil – You can purchase this at an upscale grocery store or via Amazon. I recommend using a neutral oil truffle oil.
• Cheese – Finely grated parmesan cheese is my favorite but you can also use pecorino Romano.
• Seasonings – Salt and pepper is all you’ll need to finish off these fries.

How to Make Truffle Fries

Use these easy-to-follow procedures to make these tasty Parmesan Truffle Fries:

Wash and cut the potatoes into thick batonnet like slices.

Rinse the potatoes well washing off as much starch as possible.

Addthe fries to hot oil in a pan or in a deep fryer at 300° for 3 minutes. Shake after 90 seconds.

Remove the fries andset them aside until ready to serve them. Turn the heat up until the oil reaches 350°.

When it comes timeto serve the fries, this can be done right away, add the pre-fried fries to the fryer a few handfuls at a time and cook for 5-6 minutes or until the edges are browned. Feel free to cook longer for more browning.

Drain the fries and season them with truffle oil, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.

Baking The Truffle Fries

You can bake the fries in the oven for a “healthier” alternative to these fried Truffle Fries. Here is how easy they are to make:

• Cut your fries, toss in the salt and pepper, and evenly spread them on a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
• Bake at 425° for 20-22 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
• Toss with truffle oil and parmesan cheese.

Make-Ahead and Storage
