Truffled French Fries image

During dinner at the W. Fort Lauderdale Hotel, truffled french fries came with our meal. After asking the ingredients, I came home to make them myself. A fun, very delicious, yet high caloric treat! Be sure to buy high quality truffle oil at an Italian or specialty market. My recipe calls for red potatoes, but frozen (shoestring-size) fries do cut down on time and taste almost as good.

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 large red potatoes, or more to taste
3 cups canola oil
⅔ cup dried cilantro
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
2 tablespoons sea salt, or more to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 ½ tablespoons truffle oil

Steps:

  • Cut potatoes to desired size, but not too thick. Try to ensure fries are as close to the same size as possible.
  • Place fries into a microwave-safe container and microwave for 4 minutes.
  • Place oil into a frying pan and heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place 1 to 2 handfuls of fries in the frying pan and fry until browned and soft, 4 to 5 minutes, turning and tossing frequently to cook evenly.
  • Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
  • Drain fries in a bowl lined with a paper towel. Toss fries in the bowl to get rid of excess oil; remove paper towel.
  • Combine cilantro, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss fries in the mixture until well mixed. Drizzle fries with truffle oil and toss again until well mixed. Transfer fries to an oven-safe container.
  • Bake in the preheated oven to allow truffle oil to settle and reheat fries, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve fries while hot.

I was a bit skeptical about making these fries at first, but I'm so glad I did. They were a huge hit with my family and friends.

These fries were so easy to make and they turned out so delicious. I loved the truffle flavor and the Parmesan cheese added a nice touch.

I've tried many truffle fries recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the truffle flavor was rich and decadent.

These truffle fries were amazing! The combination of Parmesan cheese, garlic, and truffle oil was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.
