- 1 lb russet potatoes scrubbed clean
- ¼ cup oil vegetable, olive or a combination
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon white truffle oil
- 1 tablespoon parsley finely minced
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the potatoes into ½ - ¼ inch thick slices, then stack them up and cut into long strips. Place the potatoes into a bowl and pour hot water over top. The water should be hot but not boiling. Let sit for 10 minutes. Drain and pat very dry.
Place the potatoes on the parchment lined baking sheet and drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss until all potatoes are fully coated.
Bake until the fries are golden and crisp, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and drain the fries briefly on paper towels.
Place the fries in a bowl and sprinkle with parmesan cheese, truffle oil and parsley. Quickly toss the fries until they're fully coated. Serve immediately.
-
Soaking the potatoes helps remove surface starch, which is key to getting that extra crispy texture without using a deep fryer. It also helps them cook evenly.
-
Avoid overbaking the fries. Too much time in the oven turns them tough instead of crisp.
-
Drizzle truffle oil carefully. It’s potent and can easily overwhelm.
-
A single layer of fries on the sheet pan is essential for even browning and crispy French fries.
-
For best flavor, make sure all seasonings and ingredients are fresh, especially the truffle oil.
