Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large Russet potatoes, cut into fries
- 4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon white truffle oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Drain and pat them completely dry with paper towels. You must dry them well for crispiness.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 325°F (160°C).
- Fry the potatoes in small batches until they are pale golden and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. This is the first fry. Remove them and let them rest on a wire rack.
- Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry the potatoes a second time until they are deep golden brown and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain well.
- Immediately transfer the hot fries to a large bowl.
- Toss the fries with 1 teaspoon of salt, the grated Parmesan cheese, and the truffle oil until evenly coated.
- Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving hot.
Notes
- For the best results, ensure your potatoes are completely dry before frying.
- Adjust the truffle oil amount to your preference; a little goes a long way.
- You can substitute white truffle oil with black truffle oil if you prefer a different flavor profile.
