Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled and cut into ¼-inch sticks
  • 2 tablespoons truffle oil (Sabatino Tartufi recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste (preferably sea salt or kosher salt)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano preferred)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (good-quality brand like Hellmann’s or homemade)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Peel and cut russet potatoes into ¼-inch thick sticks. Rinse in cold water to remove excess starch and soak for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Drain and pat potatoes completely dry with towels.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  4. In a large bowl, toss dried potato sticks with olive oil and truffle oil. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and toss again.
  5. Spread fries in a single layer on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. Add 5-10 minutes if needed for extra crispiness.
  6. While fries bake, whisk together mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning and consistency as desired.
  7. Once fries are done, immediately sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese to melt slightly. Serve warm with garlic aioli for dipping.

Notes

Soaking fries in cold water removes starch and prevents sogginess. Pat fries dry thoroughly before oiling. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure crispiness. Flip fries halfway through baking for even browning. Use fresh grated Parmesan for best melting and flavor. Make garlic aioli fresh for a sharper taste. Leftover fries can be reheated in the oven at 400°F for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness. Store aioli separately in the fridge for up to 3 days.
