The good news is that you only need a few ingredients to quickly make this upscale delicacy at home. Allow me to demonstrate the recipe for these delicious truffle fries, which come with a tangy Parmesan Lime Aioli dipping sauce.

Ingredients You’ll Need

What you'll need to make truffle fries is as follows:

• 1 ½ cups Idaho Russet Potatoes: These have a starchy texture and crisp up well, making them ideal for fries.

• During the preparation, season your fries with 1 tsp of Kosher salt.

• 1/4 cup (2 fluid ounces) Parmesan Lime Aioli: The fries go wonderfully with this creamy, zesty sauce (recipe below).

• 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) grated Parmesan cheese: adds a flavorful, savory depth.

• 1 Tbsp (½ ounce) Black Truffle Oil: This is the key component that adds that unique earthy truffle taste to your fries.

• 1 tsp Truffled Sea Salt: This adds a gourmet touch and intensifies the truffle taste.

Getting the Fries Ready

Let's proceed to preparing the fries now. Although there is some preparation involved, the technique yields worthwhile benefits.

First, give the potatoes a wash.

1. Pour half of the cold water into a big basin.

2. Cut the Idaho Russet potatoes into thin strips, ranging in thickness from 1/4 to 3/8 inch.

3. Drop the chopped potatoes right into the cold water dish. To get rid of extra starch and any dirt, give them a little shake.

4. Next, add warm water to a second big dish, filling it up to 1/4 full. After adding, whisk in the kosher salt until it dissolves.

5. Fill the saltwater bath to approximately halfway with cold water.

6. Move the potatoes to the bath of salted water from the first bowl. These may be kept chilled until you're ready to blanch them.

Step 2: Let the fries blanch.

A crucial step in achieving wonderfully crispy fries is blanching.

1. Preheat your fry oil to 300°F in a big pot or fryer.

2. Shake off any extra water from the potatoes and transfer them in batches onto a fry basket.

3. Drop the basket into the boiling oil and fry the fries for approximately two minutes and fifteen seconds.

4. Take the fries out of the oil and vigorously shake the basket to separate the fries.

5. Transfer the blanched fries to a baking sheet and allow them to cool. Until you're ready for the last frying process, keep them chilled.

6. Before beginning the following batch, let the fry oil reach a temperature of 300°F.

About 7 pounds of blanched potatoes are produced.

Cooking the Truffle Fries

This is the last cooking stage that will give your fries a crispy, golden outside.

1. Adjust the fry oil temperature to 350°F.

2. After blanching the potatoes, take 1 ½ cups (approximately 12 oz) and fried them in a hot fryer until they are crisp and golden brown.

3. After thoroughly draining, move the fries to a metal mixing bowl.

4. Toss the fries with the black truffle oil, truffled sea salt, and grated Parmesan cheese while they're still hot.

Serving Ideas

Present your just prepared truffle fries hot, along with a side serving of Parmesan Lime Aioli for dunk. It's impossible to resist the marriage of the tart aioli, earthy truffle oil, and crunchy fries.
