Truffle aiolimix vegan mayo with truffle oil and lemon juice to taste
Extra Parmesan
More chopped parsley
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes.
Cut into thin fries, about ¼-inch thick. Try to keep them uniform for even cooking.
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to remove excess starch.
Drain and pat the fries completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cooking Option 1: Deep Frying
In a deep pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) using a thermometer for accuracy.
Fry the potatoes in batches for 8-10 minutes until browned.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined tray.
Cooking Option 2: Baking
Preheat to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
For crispier baked fries, you can soak the cut potatoes in water for 30 minutes and dry them thoroughly.
Toss the dried potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden.
Season and Finish
Place the hot fries in a large bowl.
Drizzle with truffle oil (start with 1 tablespoon and add more if needed).
Sprinkle with Parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, like truffle aioli or garlic aioli. Garnish with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired.

Notes
Refrigerator: While this is definitely a recipe best enjoyed immediately, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. I do not recommend freezing this recipe, as the texture and flavour will be compromised.
Reheating: To reheat fries, it's best to use an oven, air fryer, or toaster oven rather than a microwave to maintain their crispiness. Preheat your oven to 400°F and spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Heat for 5-10 minutes.
