These Garlic Herb Truffle Fries are a gourmet twist on a classic favorite, perfect for impressing friends or indulging in a cozy night at home. The combination of crispy fries with the earthy aroma of truffle oil makes this recipe irresistible and easy to prepare.
Russet potatoes are ideal because they become wonderfully crispy while staying soft inside. Truffle oil adds a luxurious mushroom-like aroma that pairs beautifully with the fries. A drizzle of olive oil helps the fries achieve a golden crispness. Garlic introduces a robust, savory depth, while rosemary and parsley provide fresh herbal notes. Finally, sea salt and black pepper season the fries to perfection.
These fries pair beautifully with a garlic aioli or a light truffle mayonnaise for dipping. They also work well as a side dish for grilled steak or a gourmet burger. For a vegetarian option, serve them alongside a fresh arugula salad.
First, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper to prevent the fries from sticking and to make cleanup a breeze.
Next, grab those russet potatoes, wash, and peel them. Cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices. This thickness ensures they cook evenly and get crispy.
In a large bowl, combine the potato fries with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss them well to ensure each fry is coated with the delightful mixture.
Spread the fries in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Pop them into your preheated oven and let them bake for 25-30 minutes. Remember to flip them halfway through to ensure they're evenly crispy on both sides.
Once they're golden brown, remove them from the oven and immediately drizzle with truffle oil. Toss them gently to coat. Finally, sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.
