Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2-3 tablespoons truffle oil (black or white, based on your preference)
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2-3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Prepare the Potatoes
- Peel the potatoes if desired, or leave the skin on for a more rustic texture.
- Cut the potatoes into thin, even strips to ensure they cook evenly.
- Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help make the fries crispy.
- Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Cook the Fries
- Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Toss the potato strips with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
- Season and Serve
- Place the hot fries in a large bowl.
- Drizzle with truffle oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the fries for extra flavor and a beautiful presentation.
- Enjoy
- Serve immediately while the fries are hot and crispy.
