Homemade Truffle Fries
Serving Size: 2 people
DESCRIPTION
Fancy baked french fries coated with earthy white truffle oil. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Garnished with shredded vegan parm, paprika and fresh Italian parsley. Serve them as a side to your sandwiches, wraps or salad.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 whole russet potato
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or preferred cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon white truffle oil
- 1 tablespoon shredded parmesan vegan
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch paprika powder
- 1 sprinkle parsley finely minced
METHOD
- Slice potatoes lengthwise into evenly ½ inch sticks.
- Place fries in a mixing bowl and submerge with water. Let them rest for 20 minutes. This also a good time to preheat oven to 475°F.
- Drain the fries and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Then place the fries back in a dry mixing bowl. Add avocado oil, salt and toss together with the fries till they are all properly coated.
- Evenly arrange all the fries on the lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip and and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Once the fries tender and crispy, let them cool for a minute. Then place them back in the same mixing bowl. Drizzle with truffle oil, parmesan, parsley and gently toss together to properly coat each fry.
NOTES
- Cut the potatoes evenly: For the best truffle fries, make sure you cut your potatoes as evenly as possible. This will ensure they cook at a similar pace and turn out perfectly!
- Don’t forget to flip: It’s important to turn the fries after 20 minutes to give all sides a chance to properly brown. Don’t forget to set your timer!
- Maintain some space: Overcrowding the baking sheet will result in the potatoes steaming rather than crisping up. If need be, use two baking sheets or make them in batches.
- Splurge for quality: Natural truffle oil provides a much smoother and more balanced taste than synthetic truffle oil. It’s worth the extra money! If you only have synthetic truffle oil available, reduce the overall amount added.
- Extra crispy fries: You can add 1 tbs of starch in step 3 before baking for extra crispy fries.
- Dips: Serve these hot out of the oven truffle fries with Southwest Dressing or Sriracha Aioli as a dip.
