Servings: 6
Cost: $15
Equipment
- large mixing bowl
- Sharp chef’s knife
- cutting board
- Large baking sheet
- parchment paper
- Clean kitchen towels or paper towels
- Large serving bowl
Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes washed and dried
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons black truffle butter
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt or tested amount to taste
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized fries approximately ¼ inch thick.
- Place the potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Soak for 1 hour.
- Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with clean kitchen towels or paper towels.
- Return the potatoes to the dry bowl. Add the olive oil and toss until evenly coated.
- Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Leave space between the fries and do not allow them to overlap.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Flip the fries and continue baking for another 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown, crisp at the edges, and tender inside.
- While the fries finish baking, melt the truffle butter in the microwave for approximately 30 seconds.
- Transfer the hot fries to a large bowl. Add the melted truffle butter, Parmesan, parsley, and the confirmed amount of kosher salt. Toss gently and serve immediately.
Notes
- Cut the fries to an even thickness so they bake at the same rate.
- Pat the potatoes completely dry after soaking.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet. Use two pans if necessary.
- Add the truffle butter and Parmesan after baking.
- The potatoes may be cut and soaked in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Bake the fries immediately before serving for the crispest texture.
- Truffle oil may be substituted for the truffle butter, but add it gradually because its strength varies by brand.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven or air fryer rather than the microwave.
- Cooked fries dressed with truffle butter and Parmesan are not recommended for freezing.
