    Expert Tips

    • Freshly grated parmesan is best, although you can find freshly grated in the specialty cheese area of the grocery store.
    • Russet or Yukon gold potatoes are the best for making truffle fries.
    • Cut all fries the same size, ¼ inch thick is preferred.
    • Don't overcrowd the fries in the pot, work in batches.

    Variations

    • Try topping the fries with a different type of cheese!
    • Change up the fresh herbs. Chopped basil, rosemary, thyme or oregano are amazing!
    • Dip your fries in dipping sauce! Aioli sauces are great with these fries.

    Storing & Freezing

    Storing: These fries are best when served hot and fresh. However, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat them in the oven until they are crisp again.

    Freezing: Place the fries in a freezer safe zip top bag and store in the freezer for up to three months.
