PARMESAN TRUFFLE FRIES
These flavorful parmesan truffle fries are going to become your new obsession! Crispy fries tossed in black truffle oil, parmesan cheese and greens and served alongside some homemade garlic aioli. A simple and delicious recipe that makes for the perfect snack, side dish or even main dish!
WHAT YOU NEED-
- Potatoes– You want to use russet potatoes or also known as Idaho potatoes. These potatoes are perfect for making fries.
- Oil– For crispy and crunch fries, you want to toss the potatoes in oil before baking! You can use olive oil, canola oil, avocado oil, or even vegetable oil!
- Flavor– To season the French fries, I like to do a blend of salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, and chili powder! You can also use any of your other favorite seasonings to season these oven-baked fries.
- Truffle Oil– The key ingredient in this recipe is black truffle oil! Be sure to use high-quality truffle oil for the best results. I like to use the Black Truffle Oil from Walmart or the Truffle brand works great!
- Cheese– This recipe calls for shredded parmesan cheese! You want to use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the freshest results and flavors.
- Greens– For added flavor, add freshly chopped cilantro or parsley to the mix! Adding greens is totally optional.

HOW TO MAKE FRENCH FRIES
There are a couple different ways that you can prepare your fries! Use your favorite way to get the ultimate crunchy fries.
- Fry– Add oil to a large pot or deep skillet and allow it to get hot, about 350-375°F. Once the oil is hot add the sliced fries into the oil and fry, do not overcrowd the pot. Allow the French fries to fry for about 4-5 minutes, until they are golden and crispy. Remove and transfer to a paper-towel lined plate. Repeat with all the fries and then toss on truffle oil and parmesan.
- Air Fryer– Air fryer French fries are my favorite, go-to method! Add the seasoned fries to the air fryer basket and air fry at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, or until golden, crispy and tender. (Toss them halfway through the cook time for all around crispiness.)
QUESTION YOU MIGHT HAVE:
Truffle oil is an oil that is infused with white or black truffles, which are a type of mushrooms. For this recipe, black truffle oil is recommended.
Yes, if you want to speed up the process you can just use frozen store-bought fries! Just heat them up then continue with the recipe.
This is based on preference! If you prefer the potato skin off when it comes to fries, then you can peel the potatoes.

Cover or transfer the leftover fries to an airtight container and store them in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven, air fryer or microwave to enjoy!
Yes, if you want to keep this a dairy-free side dish you can totally leave out the parmesan cheese.
