Ingredients
  

Fries Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Russet potatoes starchy, best for crispiness
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil helps browning, not overpowering
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder for steady garlic flavor
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated for melt and bite
  • 1 tablespoon Truffle oil a little goes a long way
  • to taste Salt start light
  • to taste Pepper freshly cracked is best

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and cut the Russet potatoes into thin strips, aiming for even thickness.
  3. Toss the potato strips in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Baking
  1. Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
  2. Bake for about 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden edges and a crisp surface.
Finishing Touches
  1. Grate the Parmesan while the fries are baking.
  2. Remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle with Parmesan and drizzle with truffle oil.
  3. Serve hot and enjoy the crunch.

Notes

For best results, cut potatoes the same size and use two baking sheets to avoid crowding. Use fresh Parmesan for better melt and texture. Leftover fries can be tossed with an egg and greens for a quick breakfast hash.
