French fries coated in truffle oil and Parmesan cheese is simply heavenly! They were served at one of my favorite brewpubs and I knew I had to recreate them at home.

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

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.
