How to make Ultimate Truffle Parmesan Fries
Step 1: Prepare the oven and fries
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
Step 2: Season the fries
In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Ensure the fries are evenly coated. This ensures even cooking and flavor distribution.
Step 3: Bake the fries
Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Chef’s Tip: For extra crispy fries, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking. This helps remove excess starch.
Step 4: Add truffle oil and Parmesan
Remove the fries from the oven and immediately drizzle with truffle oil. Toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle the fries with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
Step 5: Serve immediately
Serve immediately and enjoy these truffle parmesan fries!
Tips for Success
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. Overcrowding will steam the fries instead of baking them, resulting in less crispy fries. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
- Flip the fries halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning and crispiness on all sides.
- Use high-quality truffle oil for the best flavor. A little goes a long way!
- Grate the Parmesan cheese fresh for the best flavor and texture.
