There is a reason these fries are so popular right now. At gourmet restaurants, as upscale bar food - this snack is simply addictive. I've tried making them a few different ways, first baking the truffle oil into the oven fries and then on a second occasion by spraying crispy oven fries with the truffle oil after they were baked. The second method seems to offer a more potent truffle flavor but more than anything it's about the quality of oil you use to bring out the strongest truffle flavor.
Pedro bought a ~$10 bottle of white truffle infused olive oil from Costco that does the trick, although honestly could be a little stronger in my opinion. Here's how I recommend preparing:
Start by cutting 1/2 inch oven fries with a knife or better yet a fries press. Place the fries on a greased cookie sheet (I use a silpat baking sheet liner but you could also use parchment paper). Lightly coat the fries with olive oil and bake at 400 degrees until light brown and crispy.
In a large bowl, toss the fries with salt and pepper, just a little powdered garlic, shredded Parmesan cheese, minced parsley and a heavy spray of truffle oil.
Enjoy as a snack or delicious side with red meat. Careful, you might get addicted!
