Parmesan Truffle Fries at Home

If truffle fries on a menu, I will indeed order them.

But a girl needs to be able to make them at home too! Since the few restaurants we typically order these fries from make them differently, I decided to take what I liked about both and combine them. So here are the details; crispy baked French fries are tossed in earthy and fragrant white truffle oil, sprinkled with lots of freshly grated parmesan cheese, drizzled with balsamic glaze and sprinkled with minced fresh parsley. It’s truly only that simple.

The balsamic glaze adds a touch of sweetness which works truly well with the earthy truffle oil and the salty parmesan cheese.

This method will serve 8 but you could certainly make a meal out of these – no shame here!

To Make These Parmesan Truffle Fries Set out:

• French fries – Use kitchen-made or store- bought. We like shoestring or “fast food” style fries dependable for this method.
• white truffle oil – Lends pungent, earthy and slightly nutty flavor.
• flaky salt – Enhances the flavors of this method.
• parmesan cheese (freshly grated) – Gives additional nutty flavor, richness and some saltiness.
• balsamic glaze – Use from-scratch or store-bought.
• parsley – Adds a pop of color and herbaceous flavor.

Make The French Fries:

You can use frozen fries or make your own. If using store-bought, preheat oven to package directions. Divide 1 bag among two large sheet pans that are lined with parchment and sprayed with olive oil spray. Bake for 20 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through.

Once the fries are crisp, remove from oven, add to a bowl (or combine on one of the sheet pans) and drizzle with white truffle oil – about 2 teaspoons.

Gently toss to coat.

Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with flaky salt.

Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese. Again, I eye ball it, but it’s about 1/2 cup.

And drizzle with roughly 2 tablespoons of balsamic glaze.

Lastly, sprinkle with minced fresh parsley.

Serve as an appetizer or for a side to burgers, wraps or anything, truly.

And then watch them disappear!

These fries are go-to enjoyed immediately after being made.
