Tips
- For crispier fries, soak potatoes in water before baking, for about 15-30 minutes.
- Parmesan - if you want parmesan to melt on the fries better, buy a whole piece of parmesan and grate it yourself instead of buying an already grated one. I found that the already grated option doesn't melt so well on cooked food.
- Bake with the fries far apart on the baking sheet. Leave enough space between them, they should be apart and not touching each other. This will help for better airflow between them and result in crispy and not soggy fries.
Julia's Tip
Use organic nonsynthetic truffle oil. Use organic and high-quality truffle oil if possible, but it is okay if a truffle powder is all you have. You can still use it and sprinkle over baked potatoes according to taste.
Freezing And Storing Instructions
- To Store. Place any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should be consumed within 2 to 3 days for the best quality.
- To Freeze. Use a freezer-friendly bag and store it in the freezer for up to 2 to 3 months.
- To Make Ahead. You can cut and season the fries in advance and keep them in the fridge until you are ready to bake.
To peel or not to peel?
I recommend not removing the skin but it’s totally up to you!

INGREDIENTS
- 2 large potatoes
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon truffle oil
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
- salt and pepper to taste
For Dipping Sauce
- 2 tablespoon greek yogurt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon sweet paprika spice
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 450F.
- Cut potatoes into ¼-½ inch thick stripes. I recommend not removing the skin but it’s totally optional.
- In a large mixing bowl combine fries, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper greased with olive oil prior. Spread the potatoes evenly leaving enough space between them, they should be apart and not touching each other. This will help for better airflow between them and result in crispy and not soggy fries.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and crispy.
- While the potatoes are in the oven, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, mix greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt, and sweet paprika spice. Mix to combine all the ingredients and set aside.
- When potatoes ready, gently transfer them to a bowl, drizzle with Truffle Oil (or truffle zest powder), and toss until all the fries are covered in oil. Sprinkle some parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and serve while hot.
NOTES
- For crispier fries, soak potatoes in water before baking, for about 15-30 minutes.
- You can also use a Truffle Seasoning instead of truffle oil, just sprinkle it all over truffle fries and gently shake the fries for even coating. But I highly recommend investing in natural and a high quality Truffle oil for example like Urbani Organic Truffle Oil
- Parmesan - if you want parmesan to melt on the fries better, buy a whole piece of parmesan and grate it yourself instead of buying already grated one. I found, that it doesn't melt so good on cooked food.
- To Store. Place any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should be consumed within 2 to 3 days for the best quality.
- To Freeze. Use a freezer-friendly bag and store it in the freezer for up to 2 to 3 months.

FAQs
Truffles are a type of fungi that grows on the roots of trees. There are many types of truffles, such as black and white truffles, Chinese truffles, summer truffles, and winter truffles.
Check the ingredients listed on the back to be sure real truffles were used in making the oil. Real truffle oil is made from high-quality olive oil infused heavily with real pieces of truffles to give the oil its distinct taste. Look for oils that are derived from natural ingredients, and avoid ones that mention "truffle aroma", "essence," or "flavor."
