Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
Rinse the potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cut the potatoes into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, leaving the skin on for texture and additional flavor.
In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with the extra virgin olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the fries and use a spatula to turn them over.
Return the fries to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once baked to your desired crispiness, remove the fries from the oven and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the truffle oil over the hot fries and toss to combine, ensuring each fry is coated.
Add the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the fries, tossing to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the fries and toss one final time to mix.
Serve the truffle fries immediately while hot, and enjoy them as a decadent side or snack.
