Ingredients
-
4 large russet potatoes
-
peanut oil for frying
-
4 teaspoons truffle oil
-
¼ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
-
4 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
-
1 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
-
Cut potatoes into French fry shapes, about 3/8-inch wide and thick, using a mandoline or a knife. Soak potatoes in a large bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes. Drain and pat potatoes dry with a clean towel.
-
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or deep saucepan to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
-
Gently lower 1/4 of the potatoes into the hot oil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Transfer cooked potatoes to a clean towel using a slotted spoon. Repeat frying with remaining potatoes.
-
Heat the same oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry potatoes again, working in batches, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer fries to a clean kitchen towel using a slotted spoon.
-
Place fries in a bowl and drizzle truffle oil over warm fries; season with Parmesan cheese, parsley, and sea salt.
Cook’s Note
Most truffle oil is actually olive oil with truffle essence added. It will still lend a pleasing flavor to this dish and is about a quarter of the cost of infused truffle oil. If you can afford it, though, splurge a little and go for the real thing.
Editor's Note:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
