Truffle fries have become very popular in many restaurants ranging from high-end establishments to small-town pubs. What sets this recipe apart is that it uses truffle salt instead of truffle oil, which can make the fries too greasy. With just one taste, you’ll understand why combining a highly-prized ingredient like the truffle with one of America’s favorite food can be so addictive. These fries are ready to be enjoyed as an appetizer or a side to your favorite burger. How you feed your new addiction it totally up to you.
Tips:
- You’ll see many truffle fry recipes call for adding truffle oil to the fries. I recommend not adding oil back into the fry once they are dry.
- Do not skip the cold-water bath. It’s very important to remove the starch from the fries so they will be crispy.
- If you prefer the baking method, set your oven to 350 degrees and bake your fries for about 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of your potato sticks. Halfway through the baking process, rotate your fries.
- In a hurry? Try using frozen fries from your local grocery store. Usually, these fries have already been cooked, so one hot oil bath is all they need.
