Instructions
To Make The Fries
- Use a fry cutter or a very sharp knife to cut the fries into skinny french fries. Place the fries into a large bowl of cold salted water and allow to soak in the fridge for at least one hour, up to overnight.4 large russet potatoes
- Heat a large pot of oil to 300 F. Drain and rinse the fries, and pat dry.Oil
- Carefully place the fries into the hot oil and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from the oil to a paper towel lined baking sheet.
- Increase the heat of the oil to 350 F. Return the fries to the hot oil and cook again, for 2-3 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown. Remove to a fresh paper towel lined baking sheet and allow to drain.
- While the fries are still hot, transfer to a serving plate and drizzle with truffle oil, then sprinkle with salt and toss to combine. Sprinkle parmesan and parsley over the fries and enjoy immediately with garlic aioli.2-3 tablespoons truffle oil, 1 teaspoon flaked salt, ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, 1-2 tablespoons minced parsley
To Make The Garlic Aioli
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayo, lemon, garlic, salt and pepper until completely combined.1 cup mayonnaise, 1 lemon, 2 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- Place in the fridge until needed.
Notes
- Don't skip soaking the fries before you fry them. Soaking them is the key to the perfect crisp texture.
- A litte truffle oil goes a long way. The flavor is very distinct and fairly strong so start with less than you think you would need, toss the fries, and give them a taste. If you want a stronger truffle flavor, add more.
- Flaky salt or a finishing salt like Himalayan sea salt is definitely a better choice for these fries than standard table salt.
