Ingredients

• 6 large red potatoes , or more to taste
• 3 cups canola oil
• 0.67 cups dried cilantro
• 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese

• 2 tablespoons sea salt , or more to taste
• freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2.5 tablespoons truffle oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Place fries into a microwave-safe container and microwave for 4 minutes.

3. 3

   Place oil into a frying pan and heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

4. 4

   Place 1 to 2 handfuls of fries in the frying pan and fry until browned and soft, 4 to 5 minutes, turning and tossing frequently to cook evenly.

5. 5

   Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).

6. 6

   Drain fries in a bowl lined with a paper towel. Toss fries in the bowl to get rid of excess oil; remove paper towel.

   Combine cilantro, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss fries in the mixture until well mixed. Drizzle fries with truffle oil and toss again until well mixed. Transfer fries to an oven-safe container.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven to allow truffle oil to settle and reheat fries, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve fries while hot.
