Parmesan Truffle Fries
Description
This recipe begins by cutting potatoes into fries and parboiling in boiling water for five minutes, then draining and steaming to remove excess moisture. Tossing the fries with olive oil, garlic granules, and dried thyme ensures a flavorful coating that crisps during baking. They are spaced apart on a baking tray and roasted at 200°C (400°F) for 15 minutes to develop a golden, crisp surface. After that, the fries are transferred to a bowl and coated evenly with grated Parmesan cheese, truffle oil, and seasoning of sea salt and black pepper. Returning them to the oven for another 10 minutes crisps the fries further and melts the cheese slightly, enhancing aroma and richness.
The fries have a satisfying crunch outside with a softer center. The earthy aroma and flavor from the truffle oil combine with the salty, nutty Parmesan and subtle garlic-thyme seasoning. These fries can serve as a gourmet side dish or snack, elevating familiar comfort food with upscale ingredients.
Cut fries evenly to promote uniform cooking and crispness. Avoid crowding the baking sheet to prevent steaming and sogginess; use multiple trays if needed. Truffle fries can also be made with potato wedges but will require adjusted cooking times due to thickness differences.
