Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Truffle oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Allow them to soak for at least 5 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help make them crispy when baked.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove any excess water.
Step 5
Return the potatoes to the dry bowl and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Add the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then toss to coat the fries evenly.
Step 6
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping to allow even cooking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the fries from the oven and immediately drizzle them with truffle oil, tossing them gently to coat evenly.
Step 9
Transfer the fries to a serving dish and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
Step 10
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. Enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Homemade Truffle Fries!
