Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Truffle oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on for added fiber and nutrients.
Cut the potatoes into strips about 1/4 inch thick to form the fries. Try to keep the size uniform for even cooking.
Place the cut potato strips into a large bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the fries.
Spread the fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded. This helps them bake evenly and become crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway through. Bake until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside.
Remove the fries from the oven. Immediately drizzle with truffle oil and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Toss gently to coat evenly.
If using, sprinkle the fries with grated Parmesan cheese while still warm to allow it to melt slightly.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a delicious snack. Enjoy the heart-healthy flavors!
