Print: Truffled French Fries

During dinner at the W. Fort Lauderdale Hotel, truffled french fries came with our meal. After asking the ingredients, I came home to make them myself. A fun, very delicious, yet high caloric treat! Be sure to buy high quality truffle oil at an Italian or specialty market. My recipe calls for red potatoes, but frozen (shoestring-size) fries do cut down on time and taste almost as good.

Ingredients

6 large red potatoes , or more to taste
3 cups canola oil
0.67 cups dried cilantro
0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic , minced, or more to taste
2 tablespoons sea salt , or more to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2.5 tablespoons truffle oil

Instructions

1 Cut potatoes to desired size, but not too thick. Try to ensure fries are as close to the same size as possible.
2 Place fries into a microwave-safe container and microwave for 4 minutes.
3 Place oil into a frying pan and heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
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 Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
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.
7 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 Bake in the preheated oven to allow truffle oil to settle and reheat fries, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve fries while hot.
