Instructions
Preparation
- 1Wash and cut the potatoes into even 1/4-inch thick fries. For crispier results, soak the cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- 2Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley. Grate the Parmesan cheese.
Cooking
- 1Heat canola oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 325°F (160°C). Fry the potatoes in batches for 5-7 minutes until they are soft and slightly cooked through but not browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack to drain and cool slightly. This is the first fry.
- 2Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Return the partially cooked fries to the hot oil in batches and fry for another 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. This is the second fry.
- 3Remove the crispy fries from the oil and immediately transfer them to a large bowl lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Remove paper towels after a minute.
Finishing
- 1In the large bowl with the fries, add the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, truffle oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to combine, ensuring all fries are evenly coated.
- 2Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Tips
- Patting fries very dry before frying is key for maximum crispiness and avoids oil splattering.
- Frying in two stages (blanching then crisping) ensures a crispy exterior and fluffy interior for perfect fries.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and aroma. A side of aioli or spicy ketchup pairs wonderfully.
