What Kind of Potatoes Work Best for Crispy Fries?

Russet potatoes are ideal for their starchy texture and ability to crisp up beautifully. Yukon golds can work in a pinch, but russets really give you that classic fry crunch with a soft inside. The key is soaking them first to remove excess starch, then drying them well before cooking.

Ingredients for the Crispy Parmesan Truffle Fries

To make these fries extra crisp and loaded with savory flavor, you want quality ingredients that play well together. Each one adds its own special touch to create an irresistible bite.

• Russet Potatoes
• Olive Oil
• Truffle Oil
• Fresh Parmesan Cheese
• Garlic Powder
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• Fresh Parsley

How To Make the Crispy Parmesan Truffle Fries

Step 1: Prep and Soak

Peel (optional) and cut the potatoes into thin sticks. Place them in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps with crisping.

Step 2: Dry and Season

Drain and thoroughly pat the potatoes dry with a clean towel. Toss them in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Step 3: Bake or Air Fry

Spread the fries in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet or place them in the air fryer basket. Bake at 425°F for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through. For air fryer, cook at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally.

Step 4: Add the Truffle and Cheese

Once golden and crispy, remove from heat and drizzle with truffle oil. Sprinkle freshly grated parmesan and chopped parsley over the top. Serve immediately for best texture.

How to Serve and Store Crispy Parmesan Truffle Fries

These fries are best served hot and fresh, ideally right out of the oven or air fryer. The crispy edges and warm truffle aroma just don’t hold up as well when reheated. If you do need to store them, keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Re-crisp them in the oven at 375°F for about 10 minutes.
