Parmesan Truffle Fries Recipe 🍟🧀
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 5-6 medium potatoes 🥔 (See notes)
- Cooking spray 🌿
- 1 tsp salt 🧂
- 4 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated 🧀
- 1-2 tsp truffle oil 🌰
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly. There’s no need to peel them—keeping the skin on adds a rustic texture and flavor. Cut the potatoes into fries using a knife or potato chipper. For the best results, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 10-20 minutes to remove excess starch. After soaking, drain and dry the fries thoroughly with a kitchen towel. This step is crucial to ensure that your fries become crispy, not soggy. 🥔🧼
- Season the Potatoes: Place the dried potatoes in a large bowl. Spray them all over with cooking spray, ensuring each fry is lightly coated. Toss the fries, spray again, and season with salt. This will help the seasoning adhere evenly to each fry. 🌿🧂
- Air Fry the Potatoes: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the seasoned fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes. ⏲️
- Add the Truffle Oil: After 10 minutes, remove the basket and give the fries a good shake. Drizzle them with the truffle oil, ensuring they’re well-coated. Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the fries are golden and crispy. 🌰🍟
- Melt the Parmesan: Just before the fries are done, open the air fryer and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese over them. Cook for another 2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the fries are perfectly crisp. 🧀⏲️
- Serve: Once the fries are done, remove them from the air fryer and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, cheesy, and truffle-scented goodness! 🧀🍽️
Notes:
- Potatoes: Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes work best for this recipe. Their starch content helps create that perfect crispy exterior.
- Truffle Oil: Truffle oil has a potent flavor, so start with 1 tsp and adjust to taste.
- Frozen Fries Option: If you’re short on time, you can use frozen fries. Air fry them for 6-8 minutes or cook them according to the package instructions. Add the truffle oil and Parmesan cheese during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Why You’ll Love These Parmesan Truffle Fries: These fries are the perfect combination of crispy, salty, and cheesy with a hint of luxurious truffle flavor. Whether you’re serving them as a side dish, a snack for movie night, or a fancy appetizer, they’re sure to impress. Plus, they’re made healthier by using an air fryer, so you can indulge guilt-free.

Cooking spray 🌿
1 tsp salt 🧂

1️⃣ Wash the potatoes and cut them unpeeled. You can use a knife or a potato chipper. Wash the cut potatoes again or better yet soak them in cold water for 10-20 minutes if time allows.

3️⃣ Put your seasoned potatoes into the basket of an air fryer, select the Air Fry option and cook for 10 minutes. ⏲️
4️⃣ Take the basket out, shake the potatoes very well, drizzle with the truffle oil and cook for 8-10 minutes longer until the potatoes are golden on the outside and cooked all the way through. 🌰🍟
5️⃣ 2 minutes before the fries are done, open the air fryer and sprinkle with 2 tbsp of grated Parmesan cheese, then cook until the cheese is melted. 🧀⏲️
6️⃣ Sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese before serving. 🧀🍽️
Alternatively, you can use frozen fries and either air fry them for 6-8 minutes or oven cook them according to package instructions. Add the truffle oil and grated Parmesan in the last 2 minutes, so the truffle scent doesn’t evaporate. 🌰🍟🧀
