Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large Idaho russet potatoes
  • Vegetable oil, enough for deep-frying or 2 tablespoons for the oven method
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp Litehouse freeze-dried garlic
  • 1 tsp Litehouse freeze-dried parsley
  • Truffle oil
  • 1-2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel (optional) and cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water with ice for 20 - 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
  2. Oven Method: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss the potato sticks with olive oil, spread on a baking sheet, and bake for 30 minutes or until crispy, flipping halfway through.
  3. Frying Method: Heat oil to 350°F. Fry the potatoes in batches until golden (about 3 - 5 minutes), then drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. Seasoning: While hot, sprinkle the fries with the salt mixture, drizzle with truffle oil, and garnish with grated Parmesan. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Pro Tip: For an extra indulgent twist, try sprinkling some freshly chopped parsley or chives over the hot fries just before serving. The vibrant green color and fresh flavor will add a beautiful touch to your dish, enhancing both the presentation and taste.
Variation: Experiment with different types of cheese to customize your fries to your liking. Try substituting the Parmesan cheese with sharp cheddar, gruyere, or even blue cheese crumbles for a unique flavor profile. Each cheese will bring its own distinct taste, so feel free to get creative and mix things up to suit your preferences.
