What are truffle fries?
If you are unfamiliar with truffle fries they are french fries that are mixed with truffle flavor, usually with truffle oil. Truffles add an earthy flavor that really pulls out some delicious flavor.
How to Make Parmesan Truffle Fries
- Heat your deep fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Wash your potatoes thoroughly on the outside.
- Cut your potatoes with a slicer to get the thicker julienne (fries) cut.
- Put your potatoes in a bowl of ice water and rinse the water until the water is clear.
- Once your fryer has warmed up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, fry your fries twice. First time you fry them for about 6-8 minutes, or until light brown.
- Then remove them from the fryer and let all the oil drip off.
- Then fry them again, for about 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Put them in a bowl with kitchen towels, so it can absorb all the oil.
- Grab a medium-sized bowl and pour in the truffle oil, and then the fries on top. Mix and shake the fries on top of the oil, to make sure all the fries get some of the truffle oil on it. (I don’t pour it over it because it can make it a little soggy)
- Then top with some Parmesan cheese and season with salt to taste.
Tips & Tricks
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Opt for medium or large yellow potatoes, which have the perfect texture for frying. Russet potatoes are also a good option if yellow potatoes are not available.
- Double-Fry for Crispiness: Double-frying the potatoes is the key to achieving crispy fries. The first fry cooks the potatoes, while the second fry ensures they become golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Soak Potatoes in Ice Water: Soaking the cut potatoes in ice water helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries. Be sure to rinse the potatoes until the water runs clear before frying.
- Drain Excess Oil: After frying the fries, remove them from the oil and let any excess oil drip off before transferring them to a bowl lined with paper towels. This helps absorb excess oil and prevents the fries from becoming greasy.
- Toss with Truffle Oil Carefully: When tossing the fries with truffle oil, be gentle to ensure that each fry is evenly coated without becoming soggy. It’s best to pour the truffle oil into a bowl first and then add the fries, tossing gently to coat.
- Serve Immediately: Parmesan Truffle Fries are best enjoyed fresh and hot, so serve them immediately after tossing with the truffle oil and Parmesan cheese. This ensures that they retain their crispiness and flavor.
