Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 as needed Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon Truffle oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Scrub the russet potatoes well under cold water, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut the potatoes into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thickness, for even cooking and extra crispiness.
Place the potato strips in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in keeping them crispy.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Place the potato strips on the prepared baking sheet and spray lightly with olive oil cooking spray. Toss the fries gently to ensure all sides are coated.
Spread the fries out into a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded for optimal crispness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and carefully flip the fries with a spatula for even cooking.
Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and immediately drizzle with truffle oil. Toss gently to distribute the oil evenly.
Season the fries with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss again to coat.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the fries and toss gently until evenly distributed.
If desired, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra flavor boost.
Serve the truffle fries hot and enjoy your low-fat gourmet treat.
