    What are truffles?

    Truffles are a type of fungi that grows on the roots of trees. There are many different types of truffles, such as black and white truffles, Chinese truffles, summer truffles and winter truffles. In the wild, they're mostly eaten by squirrels and wild boar.

    How to make Homemade parmesan truffle fries

    STEP 1

    • Preheat oven to 450F.
    • Cut potatoes into ¼-½ inch thick stripes. I recommend not removing the skin but it’s totally optional.  
    • In a large mixing bowl combine fries, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated. 

    STEP 2

    • Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper greased priorly with olive oil.
    • Spread the potatoes evenly leaving enough space between them, they should be apart and not touching each other. This will help for better airflow between them and result in crispy and not soggy fries.

    • Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and crispy.

    STEP 3 - TRUFFLE FRIES DIPPING SAUCE

    • While the potatoes are in the oven, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, mix greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt, and sweet paprika spice. Mix to combine all the ingredients and set aside.

    STEP 4

    • Gently transfer baked fries to a bowl, drizzle with Truffle Oil (or truffle zest powder) and toss until all the fries are covered in oil.

    SERVE

    Sprinkle some parmesan cheese, fresh parsley and serve while hot.

    PRO TIPS

    • For crispier fries, soak potatoes in water before baking, for about 15-30 minutes. 
    • Parmesan - if you want parmesan to melt on the fries better, buy a whole piece of parmesan and grate it yourself instead of buying already grated one. I found that the already grated option doesn't melt so good on cooked food.

    Tips for making homemade truffle fries

    • Bake with the fries far apart on the baking sheet. Wonder why your fries are soggy? This is why. When spreading the fries on your baking sheet, keep the fries as far apart as possible. This allows for the best airflow between the fries and makes them crispy in the end. Simple, huh?
    • Soak the fries in the water before baking. It helps the potatoes to remove the excess starch content and makes them crispier. Leave them in the water for about 30 minutes. 
    • Organic nonsynthetic truffle oil - if you can find an organic and high-quality truffle oil then it’s amazing, but totally okay if a truffle powder is all you have. You can still use it and sprinkle over baked potatoes according to taste.

    Choosing the right truffle oil and how can you tell if it’s real

    Check the ingredients listed on the back to be sure real truffles were used in making the oil.

    Real truffle oil is made from high-quality olive oil infused heavily with real pieces of truffles to give the oil their distinct taste.

    Look for oils that are derived from natural ingredients, and avoid ones that mention "truffle aroma", "essence," or "flavor."

    What else can you eat truffle oil with:

    Many things and more!

    sprinkle on popcorn.

    • sprinkle over popcorn
    • pasta dishes
    • Mac n' Cheese. ...
    • stir in sweet and mashed potatoes
    • use as seasoning on pizza and flatbreads
    • risotto
    • roasted veggies.

    Servings 4 portions

    INGREDIENTS
      

    • 2 large potatoes
    • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 tablespoon truffle oil
    • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
    • salt and pepper to taste

    For Dipping Sauce

    • 2 tablespoon greek yogurt
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 ½ teaspoon sweet paprika spice

    INSTRUCTIONS
     

    • Preheat oven to 450F.
    • Cut potatoes into ¼-½ inch thick stripes. I recommend not removing the skin but it’s totally optional.
    • In a large mixing bowl combine fries, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

    • When potatoes ready, gently transfer them to a bowl, drizzle with Truffle Oil (or truffle zest powder), and toss until all the fries are covered in oil. Sprinkle some parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and serve while hot.

    NOTES

    • For crispier fries, soak potatoes in water before baking, for about 15-30 minutes. 
    • You can also use a Truffle Seasoning instead of truffle oil, just sprinkle it all over truffle fries and gently shake the fries for even coating. But I highly recommend investing in natural and a high quality Truffle oil for example like Urbani Organic Truffle Oil
    • Parmesan - if you want parmesan to melt on the fries better, buy a whole piece of parmesan and grate it yourself instead of buying already grated one. I found, that it doesn't melt so good on cooked food.
