Truffle Fries
- Bake your fries according to the instructions on the bag. This can be done in an oven which is the conventional way, but you could also make them in an air fryer.
- While fries are baking get your parmesan shredded, and parsley chopped.
- Once fries are finished baking and are golden brown, remove from oven and immediately toss with the salt, truffle oil and and half the parmesan.
- Place fries on a serving platter and garnish with the other half of parmesan and all the chopped parsley.Enjoy!
Notes
- If you prefer to make your own fries from scratch, follow your recipe to make French fries and then start at Instruction #2 - getting the parmesan shredded.
- Remember a little truffle oil goes a long way, so you can add a little less than the 2 teaspoons specified and add more if you like after taste testing.
- Be careful when you add truffle oil to the fries - you don’t want to drench some fries while others get none. Try to shake droplets onto the fries, or get the oil on the sides of the bowl and shake the fries around to pick up the oil.
