Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons truffle oil
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into long, thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
2. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
3. Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 325°F (165°C).
5. In batches, carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil and fry for about 5-6 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
6. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Increase the temperature of the oil to 375°F (190°C).
8. Once the oil is hot, return the fries to the fryer and fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they turn a deeper golden brown.
9. Use the slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate again.
10. Immediately drizzle the truffle oil over the hot fries, ensuring they are evenly coated.
11. Season the fries with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to distribute the seasoning.
12. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the fries and toss again to combine.
13. Serve the truffled French fries hot as an appetizer or alongside your favorite burger or sandwich.
