Garlic Truffle Fries
These Garlic Truffle Fries are a crispy, gourmet delight! Infused with garlic and drizzled with truffle oil, they're irresistible!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
For the Fries:
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 cloves Garlic smushed through a garlic press
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley finely chopped for garnish
- 1 tbsp Truffle oil for drizzling
- 1 tsp Truffle salt to season
- Oil for frying vegetable or canola oil works best
Instructions
Method:
- Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes - Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly. Using a mandoline, slice the potatoes into even, thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Soak the potato slices in cold water for at least 30 minutes.
- Step 2: Heat the Oil - In a large pot, add enough oil to submerge the fries completely. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Step 3: Dry the Potatoes - After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Step 4: Fry the Potatoes - Carefully add a handful of the dried potato slices to the hot oil and fry in batches for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Step 5: Drain and Season - Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with truffle salt and toss with garlic and parsley.
- Step 6: Drizzle with Truffle Oil - Just before serving, drizzle a small amount of truffle oil over the fries.
- Step 7: Serve Immediately - Serve your Garlic Truffle Fries hot, garnished with extra parsley and your favorite dipping sauce.
