Truffle Parmesan Shoestring French Fries Recipe. What can I say about truffle oil that doesn’t include the word delicious? The first time I had truffle oil on french fries was also coincidentally, the last time I had french fries WITHOUT truffle oil!
The added Parmesan cheese brings the melded flavors together with an absolute BANG!
I also chose to make shoestring fries, which is not necessary, you cut the potatoes into regular fry shape, I just prefer the shoestring fries because I feel they absorb the most flavor.
There are 2 keys to making the very best french fries. The first is to soak the fries in cold water to remove the starch and the second is to double-fry the potatoes. This gives them a hyper-crunch texture.
Bonus if you have a mandolin to cut the fries, it will save you a good deal of time, but if not, feel free to cut them the old fashioned way (I did!).
You are going to absolutely love this recipe. I cannot stress enough how well french fries go with Parmesan cheese and truffle oil. I used white truffle oil on my fries but feel free to use black truffle oil if that is what you have on hand!
