These delicious truffle Parmesan fries are the perfect side dish or snack! They’re easy to make and full of flavour. Plus, they’re a great way to use up any leftover Parmesan cheese you might have. Simply toss the fries with some truffle oil and grated Parmesan cheese, then bake in the oven until golden and crispy.
Ingredients
- 1 kg potatoes, peeled and cut into chips
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon truffle oil
- 100 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- Salt and pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6.
Toss the potatoes with the olive oil and truffle oil. Spread out on a baking tray and bake for 30 minutes, stirring a few times during cooking.
Remove from the oven and toss with the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Potential changes & improvements
If you want a bit more of a crunch, you could try adding some chopped bacon or pancetta to the fries before baking. For a vegetarian option, you could use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese. And if you’re not a fan of truffle oil, you could just use regular olive oil.
What other food it works well with
These fries are delicious on their own, but they also go well with burgers, chicken, or fish. They would also be great as a topping for nachos or a baked potato.
Common Mistakes
One common mistake is to not preheat the oven before baking the fries. This will result in soggy, limp fries. Another mistake is to use too much oil, which will also make the fries soggy. Be sure to use just enough oil to coat the potatoes, and don’t be afraid to use your hands to toss them so that they’re evenly coated.
